I've got a few scarecrows that I use for Halloween. I made the main bodies out of re-bar and scrap steel welded together with positionable arms. Then I cover the frame work with fun noodles. The type kids play with in the pool they have a hole in the center that can slip over the frame. The body a pillow, head a plastic pumpkin with a mask over it.

No luck with the birds, but I did frighten a little girl while dressed like this last night :)
