    Good morning Loida Har team,
    I’m sorry if this idea has already been discussed — it would be our “Plan D” if the other options have already been considered. My team is exploring low‑tech ways to protect crops from bird damage, especially maize and beans.

    We’ve developed a concept for a wind‑powered scarecrow that uses spinning arms with tin cans and reflective materials to create movement and noise. It can be built from bamboo and recycled items and works automatically when the wind blows.

    Could you please let us know:
    Are scarecrows or similar bird‑deterrent tools currently used in Loidahar?
    And if not, do you think a passive, wind‑powered version like this could be helpful for farmers?

    Thank you for your guidance.
