I believe it the least effective of the various things devised by the Igorot to protect his rice from the multitudes of ti-lin' the small, brown ricebird found broadly over the Archipelago. The most picturesque of these wind-tossed bird scarers is the ki'-lao.
And even now that Commodious is strangled, I don't see a way to our bettering ourselves. Mr Boffin added as he turned his pensive steps towards the Bower and shook his head, 'I didn't think this morning there was half so many Scarers in Print. But I'm in for it now!
As if that wasn't stunning enough, Commodious, in another character, kills 'em all off in a hundred goes! Wegg takes it easy, but upon-my-soul to a old bird like myself these are scarers.
There are often a dozen ki'-lao in a space 4 rods square, and they are certainly effectual, if they look as bird-like to ti-lin' as they do to man. When seen a short distance away they appear exactly like a flock of restless gulls turning and dipping in some harbor. Bird scarer in rice field. The water-power bird scarers are ingenious.
