I had lunch at an antique mall in Fort Worth this week. I looked high and low for Pete the Pirate! I asked a salesperson if she had ever seen a Pete the Pirate”‘ she said…”Huh”?”. I told her that it was an Iowa thing. She thought that I was crazy!

Well – it could be one of two things:
An Owl Scarere – in our country they’re used to scare off other birds – such as pigeons – who will roost in places and make the most awful mess down the sides of buildings – with their droppings. (They can also be used to scare off small animals – but I’m not that certain it would work that well.)
They’re normally made of plastic – but the one in your photo looks like it’s made of wood.
But … that owl in the photo seems to have a head which possibly can move – possibly by remote control – so it could be a CCTV camera, hidden within – and maybe taking in images through those (what appear to be) glass eyes.
Did you not know what it was when you took the photo?
Cobs. 🙂

It was a Halloween owl that my husband bought at Target…or somewhere like that. I kept it in my classroom for several years…the children loved “Mr. Owl”! There is a cord with a button attached to him and when it is punched…he moves his head back and forth and says “whoooo, whoooo” rather loudly! The last year that he was at my school, he began to misbehave! He would suddenly hoot when absolutely no child was near him! All of the children thought that he was haunted!!!! “Mr Owl” is now retired to our farm.
