Strawberry Thief was designed by William Morris in 1883 with birds drawn by his architect friend Philip Webb. It was inspired by the Morris family efforts to grow strawberries at their home Kelmscott Manor. Thrushes would creep under the netting and eat the fruit but Morris insisted that the birds be left undisturbed.
