Strawberries have been going missing from our shoulder-height strawberry bed for a couple of weeks, I was suspecting allotment neighbours - today o.h. was weeding the bed (I cant reach!) which butts onto the top of the shed side- he found a hideyhole in the roof under the felt with piles of half eaten strawberries! Mice, or perhaps rats! We must have the fattest mice and rats in the worled with all they steal from us.

Well done!! I too had a mystery someone has been eating my cherries, it turned out to be the blackbird who comes into the garden by the tree. Just put a 2nd lot of netting to keep him out, as the 1st was too big a hole.
We also have a little mouse and none of the cats can catch him. He to will be fat as next door leave the birds chappatis on the shed roof, Im sure he must have a bit too, sometimes they leave rice, so he is well catered for! -

Please ask them not to leave rice -RSPB say it can be fatal for birds. It swells up inside, even well cooked rice.Originally posted by hamster View PostComment

I have always wondered how commercially grown fruit is not demolished by black birds as my cherries don't last 5 mins as they start to ripen .Comment

Blackbirds have far too much sense and class it as unedible - rock hard and never to ripen plums, cherries and pears, yumOriginally posted by abby View Post
