Keeping Birds from Eating Strawberries

RE: Keeping Birds from Eating Strawberries By pink tractor (1) Contact I have read that early in the season to paint rocks about the size of strawberries red and place in plants. The birds try these and give up. I don't know if it works may be worth a try. I use old net and sheer curtains to cover my plants and this does work. Thrift stores are a good source for sheer curtains.

Our little hunter-cat keeps birds away! - You can also buy a "Motion Sensor Owl" - You can also hand old CDs that flash in the wind & reflect sunlight - use a motion sensor tape recording of human's voices or predator birds - use a supersonic bird chase: http://absolutebirdcontrol.com/?s=Goog&gclid=CK7qvvDTo5sCFRJM5Qodnjbf9A - place a net over the plants - place rubber snakes around bushes & move them daily - buy a "wirley bird repeller": http://whirlybirdrepeller.com/wordpress/ - Metallic streamers, like metallic ribbon from the dollar store tied to vine: See photo below http://www.papermart.com/Product%20 ... roupID=9203&ParentGroupID=19014#9203 -- At the dollar store I've seen lengths of gold "rope" with attached coin-shaped plastic thin metallic tags that sparkle. This is sold in the ribbon area of Dollar Tree. -- Irri-Tape iridescent bird deterrent foil combines holography, wind and light to irritate birds: http://www.birdstoppers.com/site/439038/product/IT -- hang Christmas ornaments & tinsel that sparkle & move in the wind Web site: Bird Stoppers http://www.birdstoppers.com/site/439038/page/580380 Posted on 06/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Birds from Eating Strawberries By Robyn Fed (444) Profile Blog! Contact Here is what I did for the cars and I am thinking it would work as well for the birds on the strawberries: Put up a line of string across or around your garden where they bother the most: Hang these on the string: Trash bag shredded into a lot of long wavy things that blow in the wind CD on a string Chimes (they hate these) Little windmills you buy at the dollar store, stick them in the dirt by the strawberries. Buy fake snakes and place them around Foil plates hanging or foil butterflies made out of foil tied together in the middle..it looks like a bowtie. Hope these work!
