Abstract
The automatic scarecrow is a viable and consistent alternative for protecting agricultural produce from bird and animal infestations. By safely repelling the pests, it efficiently eliminates any form of destruction on the crop. The objective of the project was to create and construct a mechanical bird repellant that produces a distress sound to ward off birds. RF modules were employed to create two wireless devices under the control of an ATmega328P microcontroller. The prototype includes a sound system, a motorized mechanism, and a motion detector. Once motion is detected, the system will activate both the servomotors and the buzzer to make the device move and emit the sound. The contemporary scarecrow is an adaptable solution to be used for various purposes ranging from minimizing monetary losses due to bird infestations to humanely repelling birds from farmlands.
Keywords
