Summary[edit]

Description
English: A scarecrow. The earliest known written definition of scarecrow appears to date from 1592: "That which frightens or is intended to frighten without doing physical harm." A variety of bird scarers have been placed in this field where a winter cereal crop has started to cover the ground with its velvety green shoots, protecting the crop from being eaten by birds. Besides a noise gun there are foxes fashioned from metal, white flags on poles as well as dead crows strung up head down and dangling in the wind > 1127163 - 1127169 and right enough, not one bird could be observed in this field. In the UK, the crow is considered a pest and under certain conditions can be shot under a number of general licenses issued by DEFRA.
