   • Faceless Scarecrow. Your scarecrow doesn’t have to have a distinct face to keep the birds away. This scarecrow is faceless, yet still frightening enough to keep the pests away from your crops.
   • Armless Scarecrow. Don’t feel like you must create the perfect scarecrow to get the job done. This scarecrow doesn’t have any arms, but when placed in an open field, it discourages birds from disturbing the plants.
   • Strawless Scarecrow. No straw? No problem! This scarecrow uses a wooden post draped with a long jacket for the body along with a bucket for a head. Choose the right 4×4 wood for your strawless scarecrow.
   • Decorative Scarecrow. Who says a scarecrow must be in the garden? This scarecrow sits on a bale of straw and is surrounded by gourds to make a nice fall decoration.

   • Robot raptor. Built to fly like a peregrine falcon, the remote-controlled 3-D-printed raptor known as RoBird, built by a Dutch firm, swoops and soars. Real birds flee in terror.
   • Ready to rumble. Many birds tie the sound of shotgun blasts to imminent danger. A sonic bird cannon craftily plays on that fear. Even local birds that have never tangled with hunters scatter, spooked by the gizmo’s startling boom.
   • Cry fowl. An alternative to raucous explosions is the broadcast of digitized recordings of specific bird distress calls. When a marauding bird hears a distress call emanating from its own species, it panics, flees and eventually learns to avoid the area.
   • Smart water shock. Some sprinklers do more than just insipidly irrigate plants; high-tech motion-driven models hurl water at any intruder that strays onto their territory.
