Scarecrows - Do they still work?

#1
In the case of gardens, I'm guessing things are the same as back in The Wizard of Oz.  In other words, those pesky crows and other things are still going to come in.

So, OK, who uses scarecrows?   What is your battle plan?

Yep, they really work on any day, I am using a white pot with human face on Guava tree as Bats are eating in night.
In dark the white pot helped me to solve this problem. and saved Guava's

I think on huge farms there wouldn't be a lot of scarecrows; other methods would be used. However, I could be wrong. Anyway, nothing is beyond reach of these big mega-farms.

If it is open area then we must have to use these type of methods also in these modern days electronically methods are using to avoid most of these Scarecrows, etc. I watch them whenever I visit farms and people told it really works for them during night or day vision.

My garden is very small, however I heard about Scarecrows, but here most of them use pot and paint it like a doll so the scarecrows shouldn't come. This type still works in most cases and presently too without any problem.
