Birds and raccoons love to eat cherries.
Cherries are usually pruned to a central leader system but also can be vase pruned in form.
Birds (especially robins) can sometimes be an issue when the fruit is nearly ripe. Covering the tree with netting or using scare tactics (hang shiny bird repellent strips in the tree) may be necessary in order to obtain a good crop.
