Growing Rockmelon, also Canteloupe

If I waited until it is ripe, ant/bird ate before I harvested it. I tried once to harvest before it is ripe, the melon tasted very plain, not sweet. So, how do I prevent bird or ants eat the rock melons before I harvest?

I find placing fake snakes and frogs in your garden help... just move it around the garden every now and then....
