The oldest form of getting rid of birds is the classic scarecrow. Birds mistake a scarecrow for a person, and tend to stay away from it. You need to move the scarecrow to a different spot every few days because birds may stop avoiding it. Changing its position makes it appear tobe a natural person to birds.

Scarecrows are ideal choices for homeowners with gardens. Birds such as crows, finches, robins, and sparrows feed on vegetables in gardens. You do not want a bird snacking on your fresh fruits and vegetables. You invested a lot of time and work into your garden. Place a scarecrow in your garden to keep the birds away.
