Scarecrows

Last time I was out cycling, I noticed these scarecrows from up the road. However it had started to rain, so I didn't have a chance to come check them out.
The weather was great today, though, so I came to see what was going on. Apparently it's part of a "Rural Community Improvement Project" and so they've put up about 40 scarecrows around a couple of the rice fields.
I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a tourist attraction, or if it's just to convince the locals that living in the sticks isn't so bad, and no, they don't have to move to the big city for entertainment.
Notice the one in the middle has a (real) handbag.
This one looked particularly dangerous.

Did you notice many birds actively veering off?
