I was out walking with my girlfriend S on a perfect summer day this past weekend. She pointed out these wild strawberries growing by the roadside and assured me I could taste one which I did! It was delicious, maybe a bit on the tart side.
Yesterday morning, daughter L was eating her breakfast in the kitchen and heard a strange, loud thud coming from the family room. Then this bird hit the ground hard, landing on the patio stones outside. It had obviously crashed into a window. L said its body shuddered for a few seconds then it was dead. I was quite upset when husband M pointed out the body. It must have happened so quickly. I found some small suction hooks at the dollar store and hung these snowflake ornaments I had onto them and pressed one onto each window. It should warn the birds that is a glass window.

The strawberries look good! Sorry about the bird. I have bird stickers on my window to the balcony to show them that there is something there. Valerie
Too bad about the bird. That has happened several times to our window, also.
so about the bird, we had a wall of windows on our house on the lake and I had the same problem, I hung small grapevine wreaths in each window, I love when the air smells of strawberries,
I love strawberries!
Very smart decorative way to warn the birds. I just love visiting the dollar store. I always find something amazing and useful.
What lovely strawberries. I am very sorry about the bird. The birds don't seem to come near our windows here, but just to be safe I may be making a trip to the dollar store myself...
Oh, that is sad about the bird. A couple of birds have crashed into our front window, but they both survived. I think I should make a trip to the dollar store, too, just in case.
I always wondered how they would taste fresh
Lovely strawberries - poor little bird:(
We have millions of these little strawberries. I am loathe to cut the 'grass', but I do.
Poor birds.
