Different names for the Scarecrow

Scarecrows are used worldwide, but usually go by different names. In the United Kingdom they may be knows as a Mommet, Tattie Bogle, Tattie Bogal, Murmet, Bwbach, or Hodmedod. The Japenese call them a Kakashi, while Germans call them Vogelscheuche. Sometimes a scarecrow may be called a rook-scarer, a flay-crow, mawpin, bird-scarer, mog, guy, shay or shuft. Whatever these bird scarers are called, their main purpose is to scare birds.
