How long does it take for green strawberries to turn red? Should I pick them now or wait until red?

As to how long it takes, that depends in the environmental conditions, but with the warm weather we're getting it usually only takes a few days once they have stopped swelling in size.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
If you are worried about birds or other creatures getting them before you do, you can ripen them indoors but ONLY once the fruit shows signs of beginning to turn colour. Not ideal but can be done if necessary.
