A scarecrow is a man-shaped device used by farmers to scare away birds and stop them from eating their crops.  Most scarecrows are made from old clothes stuffed with straw. Famous scarecrows include Worzil Gummidge. Less friendly scarecrows were cynically used by the BBC in an episode of Doctor Who in an attempt to scare small children and alienate them from their rural roots.  Some villages in England hold scarecrow competitions in which local villagers compete for the prize of most handsome scarecrow. The scarecrow competition in the village of Slepe is particularly popular in Dorset.
