6. Fake Predator
You can use an Owl Decoy or hawk decoy around your strawberries to keep birds away! Simply set the decoy up somewhere in the area of your strawberry patch. Be sure to set it up in different locations so the birds believe that it is alive.
Birds and snakes are natural enemies, so placing a rubber snake around the yard is a great way to keep the birds at a distance. This is especially true of birds looking for a place to nest as they know that snakes will eat the eggs. Plus, rubber snakes are cheap, brightly colored, and can be used for the occasional joke on your family, friends, and co-workers if that is your sense of humor.
If you want to keep other creatures away from your strawberries, consider putting the plants on an elevated surface such as a table. This will keep them away from the insects and rodents that might otherwise discover how good your strawberries taste.
