About the Scarecrow
A scarecrow is a figure made of straw or cloth and placed in fields to scare birds away from crops.
It is usually shaped like a person, with old clothes and a hat, and is positioned in a way that makes it look like it is standing guard over the crops.
The idea is that birds will see the scarecrow and think it is a person, and therefore stay away from the crops.
Scarecrows have been used for many centuries and are a common sight in farm fields, especially during the growing season.
