Crowkeeper

/ˈkroʊˌkipər/ noun

Definition

A person or device that guards against crows, such as a scarecrow or someone hired to protect crops from bird damage.

Etymology

From 'crow' (the bird) + 'keeper' (one who keeps or guards). This compound word emerged in agricultural contexts where protecting crops from crows became an important farm task.

Kelly Says

Scarecrows are actually one of humanity's oldest tech solutions—people were basically the first programmers, 'coding' straw and old clothes to trick birds into thinking danger was present!
