Stuffed Owl Guards Cherry Tree Inspires Storage Trick
Newspaper photo tells how a stuffed owl perched on a garage kept ripe cherries safe from birds. Mrs. Addie Sleight of 1511 Washington Ave SE supplied the tale, noting smaller birds still raid but larger ones stay away from the owl. The craft began after a bluejay inspired the idea, first used in a strawberry patch and later moved to the cherry tree. Local curiosity followed as readers saw the unmolested fruit laden branch. Executrix notices follow in Linn County probate filings with Pearl Hunter Werner and Ruth W Miller named.
