As soon as the berries begin to ripen on the site, first of all, cherries and strawberries, pests, ready to profit from the harvest, immediately appear. In order to protect the crop from them, you have to use special means. First of all, all kinds of scarecrows. One such, and very effective, can be easily done with your own hands from an ordinary plastic bottle.
What you need: plastic bottle 2 liters, scotch tape, foam rubber or polystyrene, pole, self-tapping screws, lid from the conditioner for washing
The first stage of work comes down to creating wings from a plastic sheet obtained from a bottle. The point is to simulate feathers that will pop and flap in the wind. To do this, you first have to make a template on stiff paper or cardboard, and then cut out a part from a plastic bottle using it. If you don't have a penchant for drawing, then ready-made templates for bird wings under a scarecrow can be found in abundance on the Internet.
A whole bottle is used to simulate the body of a bird of prey. Attached to it is a pole base made from the neck of another bottle. You can connect the two parts using ordinary electrical tape or a suitable glue. Since plastic bottles do not have stiffening ribs, it is recommended to put foam or cuts of insulation for pipes under each part.
The head of a bird of prey for a scarecrow can be made from a pre-prepared cap from an air conditioner. A hole is made at its end, and into it, in turn, a section of a hose or tube about 5 cm long, not completely cut along the length, is inserted into it. It is recommended to paint on the eye lid with black paint.

Now it remains only to fix the wings cut at the very beginning. They are attached to the "body" with tape or electrical tape. It is worth rewinding all the parts thoroughly. The finishing touch of the assembly is the installation of the scarecrow on the pole.
