Mulberries seem to range from extremely bland to a mildly pleasant flavor. I'm not sure how much of that is differences between kinds of mulberry (white or purple) and how much is the year or differences between individual trees.
I do know that mallards like them--when we lived in Inwood, there was a mulberry overhanging the tidal marsh. The ripe berries would fall onto the water or mud (depending on whether the tide was in), and I got used to watching the ducks eat them. This has nothing to do with whether humans will like the fruit, I just found it amusing. (I also found it amusing that I took up bird watching, and started paying attention to the tides, when we moved to Manhattan.)
