Scarecrow: Guardian of the Garden.
Scarecrows
We’re the farmer’s scarecrows
We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer’s corn safe
Without any words;
But when Hallowe’en comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking ’round.
Boo!

Apparently, scarecrows are effective at scaring not only birds, but people as well, which may be why they are a feature in Halloween holiday decorations and in scary movies.

The Scarecrow
The farmer made a scarecrow
And stuffed it full of straw.
He put it in the cornfield,
but the crows laughed, “Haw-caw.”
One crow sat on Scarecrow’s hat.
He was not scared at all.
That scarecrow did not scare
A single crow away all Fall!

Hey, wait a second . . . that scarecrow appears to be a crow . . .

Scarecrow Joel
There once was a scarecrow name Joel
Who couldn’t scare crows, save his soel.
But the crows put the scare
Into Joel. He’s not there
Any more. That’s his hat on the poel.
by David McCord (David Thompson Watson McCord (1897 - 1997)
Many different ways exist to make a scarecrow. A typical scarecrow with a human shape can be made by sticking a pole in the ground in a farm field or garden. A shorter cross-stick is attached to it and becomes the arms. Alternatively, a dummy can be made from stuffing old clothes with straw. A head can be made by stuffing an old burlap sack or pillowcase with straw, and then attaching a hat. A scarecrow scares away crows and other birds that eat crops. Also effective is a shiny metal pie tin or pan hung from a rope tied between two poles or to a fence; a slight breeze will cause it to move, attracting the eyes of birds and causing them to take flight. Similarly, city folks are known to use large plastic owls to scare away pigeons.

The Scarecrow
Five fat blackbirds,
Sitting in the straw.
Laughing at the scarecrow,
Caw! Caw! Caw!
Five fat blackbirds,
Eating all the corn.
Silly old birds,
It’s going to storm.
Poor sad scarecrow,
Sitting on a fence.
“Boo!” yelled the scarecrow,
Away they went!

On a bright and sunny day,
Don’t forget to do your job.
Scare the hungry crows away!

Scarecrow: One who takes as a compliment the words, “You’re scary.”
The Scarecrow
The scarecrow stands
With hanging hands,
Beside the farmer’s stile.
He scares the jay and crow away.
With just a painted smile.
