Does anyone have a pattern or a diagram for making a Hawk bird Scarer? I'd like to make my own out of cardboard and paint it black so that I can hang it .

This website has several, they are small but you could use a zoom function to get it near life size. I think the falcon is a bird hunting hawk and has a simple outline. Let us know if this works.

Never thought of that - please let us know how it works out!

I assume it's to stop birds from eating your figs?

I have never had trouble with birds, just insects, e.g., wasps, sometimes ants.

Go to Amazon.com and see what everyone thinks about this. I'd post a picture but when I copy and then paste this all that cane our with no picture. I have 2 fig trees about 3ft apart a little over 1yr in the ground that are having figs ONE AT A TIME ! Every time that I see a fig that'll be ripe in a day or two I go out and look at it to see if I can pick it and lately there is a spot where it has been picked at. If it were rats then would they eat the whole thing?
Any way I thought I'd hang it on a cord between the two trees and letting it swing in the wind.
Any comments?

A cat figure would also work lol
