Traditionally scarecrows were made
from old clothes stuffed with straw or hay and secured to a mast
made up from two large sticks or boards attached together. For
hundreds, if not thousands of years, farmers have placed them in crop fields
and
gardens to keep crows and other unwanted birds away from the plants
being grown.
