The scarecrow - a proven crop saver
In the past, you would usually only find them in a lonely, deserted field - or they would wait for years in a wheat field. Broken rags, disheveled straw hair, worn-out rubber boots and a hat that was much too big adorned her appearance. Or simply put in a German folk song: The stick and hat still look pretty good on her today. We're talking about the good old scarecrow who looks after the field no matter the wind and weather - day in and day out. The motto here is: the more colorful and flashy, the better. After all, the scarecrow is supposed to fulfill a very specific mission - namely to protect the freshly planted seeds or the harvest from thieving ravens and crows.
Classic and modern elements combined
The idea is simple and yet extremely effective: two sticks, straw and worn clothing that visibly flutters in the wind make the thieving crows believe that they are being watched by a human-like silhouette. Since birds usually stay away from people, a scarecrow is the ideal solution to avoid theft of seeds and fruit. The latest technology can make deterrence even more effective, as special electrical light and movement effects, reflectors or noise elements ensure deceptively real imitations. With these modern innovations, you protect your seeds from predators and don't have to accept crop losses without a word.
Decorative component - the scarecrow in the garden
Nowadays, however, you can no longer only find them out in the fields, because in addition to farmers, many hobby gardeners also rely on the effective crow deterrent to ward off birds. Over the years, the scarecrow has become an extremely decorative accessory. For some garden owners, the sparrow deterrent is no longer just a means to an end.
Endless possibilities - there are no limits to your imagination
The selection online is almost endless and you can be sure that your neighbor certainly doesn't have the same specimen in their garden - so nothing stands in the way of creative garden design if originality is your priority. This individual charm puts the insult “you look like a scarecrow” in a different light. In this context, this term could almost be taken as a compliment.
Beautiful doesn't always have to be expensive
The good thing is that a bird scarer doesn't have to cost a lot. Discover the wide variety of offers. Browse the online shop and buy your personal and, above all, inexpensive copy.
