I've got a couple of strawberry plants in hanging baskets, what's the best way to protect them from birds and other pests?

Light netting!!!
It all depends what you put into the ground, to what you get out

I have alpine strawbs covered in 10mm plastic netting and i watched a cock blackbird  push down the netting and pull a strawberry through peeling the sides off making it square before cramming it down a youngsters throat.
They are also eating more layer pellets than the chickens. :)
