Once we noted a Bird Scarer in a small farm. A bird Scarer is nothing but a statue like figure made out of bamboo, old clothes, pot, grass, etc. Which is made to make an impression of a man being present in the farms so the birds will not come. My friend noted that the bird Scarer is stationary, so it is ineffective. He also pointed out that if there is a Moving bird Scarer which can be directly bought & installed in field, people will buy it. People will buy it provided it is sold in range of 250-300 INR.
I asked my cousin who is farmer and he too said that stationary bird Scarer is very ineffective. I again asked him if he would buy one if it was moving and directly available & at what price? He said, he will buy 5 if the are moving and for Rs. 500/- each. So, I thought indeed this can be a market.
For the prices to be kept low, it should be made out of light & hard polymer, just like the dolls. You can observe the light plastic bat & ball, dolls, etc which are easily available in villages. These different body parts will move continuously if attached with a spring. You can also use one big string / thread with bird shape paper or plastic tied at other end. It should be so light that the bird shape paper will fly if there is good wind, this further scaring real birds.
Some fluorescent type of colors (with silver or gold color particles) can be used for body of Scarer, so it shines and scares away the birds.
Build some model for exhibition and may be you will have some business idea.
