How beads help to get a decent strawberry harvest: a summer cottage trick

Juicy, ripe and sweet strawberries are liked not only by summer residents who grow them, but also by birds, who brazenly encroach on other people’s harvest.

This is why gardeners come up with new ways to combat birds every year.

For this purpose, a variety of and sometimes completely unexpected means are used – for example, beads.

How can women's jewelry help a farmer who is determined to protect his harvest from starlings and other thieves?

The thing is that it is not the smell of the berries that attracts birds in the first place, but their bright color.

For this reason, farmers have a chance to trick the winged pests by painting beads red and placing them in strawberry beds.

The stupid birds will certainly have a desire to taste them.

Once sparrows and starlings become disillusioned with their taste, they will not stay on your property for long.
