How to protect strawberries from birds
Surely strawberries are one of the most beloved and long-awaited delicacies of every summer resident. However, for a good strawberry harvest, it is not at all enough to simply water and fertilize it, since this will not protect annoying birds, who also do not mind enjoying your harvest. Today we'll take a closer look at how to protect strawberries from birds in ways that actually work.
Mesh shelter
To protect strawberries from birds, a mesh made of any material, from metal to polypropylene, is suitable. The main thing is that such a grid should not have too large cells. Surely in the nearest hardware store you will find such a mesh without unnecessary hassle.
Tip: the net is best fixed on low stakes that should be driven into the ground.
Shiny objects
For this method of protection, absolutely any object that glitters is suitable: an old mirror, a CD, a metal shiny can from under conservation, and so on.
In this case, the effect occurs as in the case of an ordinary garden scarecrow. Due to the constant shine from the sun's rays, the birds think that someone is near the strawberry and do not fly up to it.
Tip: it is best to fix shiny objects so that they play with overflow from the sun's rays, that is, they are mobile depending on the flow of the wind.
Loud rattles, bells
In this case, the principle of protection is similar to shiny objects, the only difference is in the method of scaring away birds: shiny objects scare off visually, and loud objects scare away with noise.
Anything that makes a loud noise can be used here: an old baby rattle, fishing bells, or make some kind of noise rattle with your own hands.
The above methods of protecting strawberries from birds are the most widely available, inexpensive, and, most importantly, effective.
