I love them too, actually I tasted one today, that was still a bit pale but it tasted nice, not very sweet but at the moment we are competing with birds so I decided to be first. Next year I definitely will cover them with some net to protect from bird :)
I have heard that painting little rocks to look like strawberries discourages the birds. You could also try putting little scarecrows in your patch. Something that moves and worries the birds.
