The earliest scarecrows were found in Ancient Egypt. Their task was to keep birds away from the fields near the river Nile.
The Urchfont Scarecrow Festival, located in Wiltshire, England, has been running since the ’90s and draws in up to 10,000 people every year. This festival features over 50 handmade scarecrows with prizes and contests to raise money for charity.
