You bet they do, they love em.  Right now the Mulberry tree in Descanso
gardens is the best place in the gardens for Swainson's and Hermit Thrush
plus grosbeaks and Robins.  The tree can hardly keep up with the birds.
Usually lots of Tanagers in the area too although havent seen one go
for a berry let.

Mulberries, of course, are always planted next to a sidewalk.
