Fun Facts About Scarecrows

Scarecrows are now a familiar sign of autumn and harvest in gardens and fields, not just a tool for farms (University of Maryland Extension).
People have used scarecrow-like ideas for a very long time; one old method was hiding near crops and startling birds away from food plants (University of Maryland Extension).
Crows eat many foods, including corn, pumpkins, fruits and grains, which is one reason farmers have tried different ways to protect crops (Utah State University Extension).
A scarecrow may work better when it changes place or has moving parts, because birds and other animals can get used to objects that stay still (University of Maryland Extension).
Community scarecrow walks invite families, school groups and local groups to build displays together for harvest-season fun (Utah State University Extension).
