And the most reliable method is a blue down blanket.” Noticing Shelma’s puzzled look, Angwa explained: “Listen, you should remember this from childhood… How do you scare away a scarecrow? You just have to cover yourself with a blanket over your head, right? And if you cover a scarecrow with a blanket…”
