Scarecrow

1

Walking down the hallway, and I think theres no way, that the bowl is empty, there be at least 20. Looking for a bicky, but its kinda tricky, my tummy is rumbling, Buddy will be tumbling. As I reach the food spot, look into the grand pot, I shed a tear, and cry out in fear. As-I-start-to-realise I start to realise, and wanna apologise.

Design

The common form of a scarecrow is a humanoid figure dressed in old clothes and placed in open fields to discourage birds such as crows or sparrows from disturbing and feeding on recently cast seed and growing crops. Machinery such as windmills have been employed as scarecrows, but the effectiveness lessens as animals become familiar with the structures. Since the invention of the humanoid scarecrow, more effective methods have been developed. On California farmland, highly-reflective aluminized PET film ribbons are tied to the plants to produce shimmers from the sun. Another approach is using automatic noise guns powered by propane gas. One winery in New York has even used inflatable tube men or airdancers to scare away birds.
