As some of you might know I love to grow as much fresh fruit and veggies as I'm able to.
I've been thinking of ways to scare the cats and certain birds off my veggie and fruit. I can't put every thing into 'Fruit Cages'.
So I someone said how about bird and cat scarers that don't harm them but stop them from pecking and digging things up, made from recycled things.
So I did a bit of research and found things that move in the wind, make a sudden noise or catch the light and through sun rays about are the best things to use.
So here are two I made earlier using beads, buttons, plastic bottle tops, old CD's, jingle, bells, empty cotton reels.
I'm making one with old metal jam jar lids and old keys but I need a couple more jam jar lids I will show that on when it's completed.

Thank you Daniellee. I've been collecting more bits and bobs and just finished one made from metal jar lids and old keys.
I have 8 fruit trees in my huge side garden so they will go into there next year to scare away the birds from eating the blossom on my fruit trees and also will help to scare away the cats also.
