Just as soon as my strawberries are finished blooming, I scatter numerous red-painted, strawberry size stones among the plants. The birds immediately descend on the strawberry patch to peck on those rocks. Tiring of no tasty reward, the birds ignore the patch. Then when the berries turning red, the birds continue to ignore the patch and I pick up the stones for use next year.
