"The Scarecrow" is a character often found in fields, designed to deter birds and other animals from eating crops. Typically made from old clothes and stuffed with straw, scarecrows are placed on farms to protect harvests. They can be simple or elaborately designed, sometimes taking on human-like features to appear more intimidating. In literature and film, scarecrows often symbolize fear or the unknown. One famous example is the Scarecrow from L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", who seeks a brain to gain intelligence. This character represents the idea that wisdom and knowledge can come from unexpected places.
