Scarecrows Then and Now
Birds have always
been a problem for
farmers. They like to
eat the seeds in
farmers’ fields. As
soon as a farmer
plants seeds, the birds
arrive for dinner.
Often these birds are crows.
Farmers try to get rid of their unwanted
visitors by making scarecrows. A
scarecrow is supposed to scare away crows
and other birds. The first scarecrows were
made hundreds of years ago.
