Found an interesting tip on a community fb page.
“Painting bright red rocks and setting them out amongst your strawberry plants before they are ready will help protect them from birds. The birds learn that they can’t eat the bright red rocks so when the strawberries ripen they don’t draw the birds attention. “
The photo posted showed small red rocks that almost looked like strawberry slices set around the plants. Clever!
Very smart about the red-painted rocks!
Wonder if it works for Chipmunks? They LOVE to take ONE BITE out of a berry and then leave it. Jerks!
Luckily, I’m not fussy about pre-bitten food, LOL!
