## Resource

Birds are stealing your summer harvest—strawberries, raspberries, you name it. But here’s the twist: they’re scared of shiny things. Hang old CDs or DVDs in your garden, let them spin in the wind, and watch the flashes confuse and deter them. Move them around often so they don’t get used to the trick. It’s a simple, eco-friendly way to protect your crops while nudging birds toward your lawn for slugs and worms—win-win for garden and wildlife.
