Scarecrows

[Caran]

Why are there scarecrows every where?
My next but one neighbour has one in his back garden,.
Neighbour opposite has one sitting in a deck. Hair on a flat roof.
What is the significance of them please?

none around here - maybe there's a convention in your town?

Lots of scarecrow festivals about, local villages near me have them every year.

It's illegal to kill gulls but not illegal to use a scarecrow

It's a Cinderford Jubilee thing:

Have been working in the garden a lot this week.

Am available for scarecrow look-a-like at very reasonable rates...

It's a competition with the winner being the most outstanding in their field

Just realised I must look like one. I was strimming very long grass and a rat came out of the grass not a yard from where I stood (I hadn't caught it with the strimmer). It slowly ambled on to the patio where it came to rest. I gently touched its back with my shoe and it didn't move. Got the rifle out and put the poor thing out of its misery.

Hi, Caran. I used to enter a scarecrow in a village competition in the UK. Luckily our village here has a scarecrow festival so I can continue. Below is not one I made!
