I'm thinking of making some CD bird scarers to keep the birds off my
seedlings. Has anyone found this effective? Can you offer any tips on how
best to costruct the said scarers? I imagine they would be most effective
if they are free to swivel and spin with the least amount of air movement,
yes?

Many thanks,

Works better if you stick two back to back so shiny sides out as it's
the light reflective effect that seems to work most. However, IME
birds get used to them and will eventually ignore them. If you move
them about now and again they seem to become scared again for a while.
