What was the first scarecrow made out of?

The first scarecrows were typically made from simple materials like sticks or wooden frames, often dressed in old clothes to resemble a person. Ancient Egyptians used wooden figures covered with nets to protect their grain fields from birds. Similarly, early farmers in other cultures fashioned scarecrows using natural materials such as straw or reeds. Over time, these basic designs evolved into the more recognizable forms we see today.
