I’m trying to think of some new ways for a Hi-tech scarecrow. The “Billy Bass” I used before just isn’t scary enough, lol. The two songs “take me to the river” and “just a little song I wrote, be happy” didn’t quite cut it for scary. I’ll take that back, the whistling part of Be Happy was pretty scary, haha.

We used old computer disks, and old aluminum pie pans dangled on strings, which worked for our critters. Also, wrens will drive off the other birds from your berries, and they like insects etc - berries and garden produce not so much.

My experience with a “scary” owl to frighten off birds:
Man, he was fierce looking and turned around on a swivel as the wind moved it. Well, all the birds landed on it and took a free ride on the owl...
