Default strawberry netting

Hi,

I have strawberries and raspberries, etc beginning to grow fruit and
I'd like to be able to eat some of them myself when they ripen. What
is the best netting to buy to keep the birds off and where from?

Thanks.

Any danger of young birds ending up entangled? I also want to be the first
to the strawberries but we have lots of young birds around.

No it's very firm for birds and far too small for them to get entangled

I thought about enviromesh, but won't that stop pollinators from getting
to the flowers? My soft fruit continue flowering while the first fruits
are ripening.
