A life-size black-and-white cutout resembling Beyoncé was recently spotted standing among crops in Bali, apparently deployed by farmers as an inventive scarecrow. A short video posted to Instagram by @Pubity shows the monochrome figure planted in the field while workers tend the nearby plants, the silhouette standing watch over the farmland.
The Instagram caption explained that local farmers have taken a creative approach to protecting their harvest, replacing a traditional scarecrow with the eye-catching celebrity likeness to deter birds. The simple setup — a human-shaped printout placed where birds might land — has drawn attention beyond the fields.
Viewers on social media responded with amusement and a few playful theories. One commenter suggested the crows might just gather for a show, another joked that the cutout probably comes with Bluetooth speakers blaring ‘Crazy in Love,’ and a third quipped that the birds would likely thank her on their way out. The clip highlights a lighthearted example of how farmers sometimes blend practicality and humor when experimenting with pest control.
