The difference between a scarer and a scarecrow
A scarecrow is representative of a human form that is placed in the middle of a culture. Generally, a human body is represented, covered with clothes. A scarer is much smaller and can be hung on trees to prevent birds from pecking our crop. Scare technique tested and approved!
Make a bird scarer by going to the printer
Emmanuel Grosbois advises to collect the aluminum printing sheets from the printers in your city who produce flashes. This aluminum sheet (A4 format) is to be cut in the shape of predators: owl, eagle owl, eagle, buzzard…so that the birds are frightened by the shape. All you have to do is paint eyes: friendly decoration for humans but which will scare animals. The advantage of this aluminum sheet is its small noises which will be able to scare the bird. In addition, this sheet does not rust and shines.
This scarer is to be positioned at the bottom of fruit trees, to leave the upper part to the birds. Let’s share the garden!
