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.
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.
U-mi-chang'-ka Sik'-a Ti-lin' in kad La'-god yad Ap'-lay Sik'-a o'-tot in lo-ko-lo'-ka nan fu-i'-mo. Freely translated, this is Totolod This ceremony, tot-o-lod', occurs on the day following ke'-eng, and it is also for the protection of the rice crop. Ong-i-yud' is the priest for both ceremonies.
