Netting, 1/2" openings or less. The birds can get caught in larger
openings. A few mylar streamers (Christmas tinsel?) won't hurt.

Here, our problem isn't birds but small rodents.

I use nylon bird netting for my blueberries. Home Depot sells it.

Simple and cheap.

Bird netting. Most home and garden stores carry it.

Hang old CDs so they can move with the breeze.

Bird repellents and adhesives though are one of the most straightforward ways to deter any kind of feathered friend from choosing your strawberries as its home. Bird spike is also a useful method to repel them from your property and premises.
