But 'my friend', and I paint rocks for fun. She saw a pintrest picture where the gardener painted rocks that looked like strawberries and set them out under the plants, before the berries arrive. The plot thickness....apparently the birds become frustrated after trying to peck the rocks and leave the real berries alone.


Other than the decoy berries I suggest netting of some kind. Oh and chicken wire fences.
