My problem solver (aka hubby) bought an owl statue to ward off any little thieves. I thought this was a little strange, an owl? But sure enough all is quiet around the garden. The birds even stay away. The birdies do come to check out the new addition to the family but they don't stay too long.
In ancient Greek Mythology, Athene, the Goddess of Wisdom made the owl her favorite creature. Since the owl was often seen as a symbol of Athene, the owl was a protector, Greek armies would bring them to war. If an Owl flew over Greek soldiers before a battle they would take it as a sign of victory.
We have fun shouting, "WHOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOOOO" out of the window during our, who sounds more like an owl competitions.
So far our Owl, we've affectionately named Harry, is doing a good job protecting our strawberry plant. We haven't harvested any yet, but looks like they will be ready soon.
I pray that I am a lot like Harry protecting my three little plants at home until they are ready for harvest.
P.S. The electric fence is on back order. SMH (Shaking my head).....
