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!!!

When they're ripe, eat them

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.
