The scarecrow is moved around with the force of the wind or breeze which scares the crows and other birds away. Among the birds, crows and sparrows are the main culprits who eat the seeds and sprouts from the bedded soils. This type of scarecrow was the only way, before the advent of technology, that the farmers could frighten the birds away at that time.
