Strawberry rocks.

After planting our strawberries we have had nothing but problems with the pesky birds! 

I had heard that if you paint some 'decoy' strawberries and place around the plants the birds will come, peck at them, realise they are not real and not come back. 

Well this all sounds like bollocks to me, but I thought they would look pretty so we painted some anyway, and it was a fun little activity. Lets see if they keep the birds away?
