Most of the time when I see a scarecrow, it’s either in a backyard garden, or it’s a Halloween lawn decoration.
Here’s something else you can do with that scarecrow. It works really well if you have and old shirt, trousers, hat and gloves that look like what the scarecrow is wearing:
If the scarecrow’s hat has a rim, sprinkle bird seed there, too.
The birds will avoid the scarecrow at first, but after a few days, they will start to eat the seeds.
After a few weeks, dress like the scarecrow and sit in the lawn chair with the tray of bird seed. How long did you sit there before the birds came?
How did it feel to have birds land in your lap or on your hat?
What did you learn about the different birds that visited? How long did the birds come to feed before you got up? Did you put the scarecrow back after you left?
