A small bronze scarecrow, affectionately nicknamed Schubird.
Meaford bills itself as the Scarecrow Capital of Ontario because of the abundance of farmland surrounding the city. Every October a Scarecrow Invasion and Family Festival is celebrated for two days. The bronze scarecrow statue was unveiled during the 2009 festival. Named Schubird ("Shoo, bird") the three-foot-tall scarecrow was designed by local artist Gunter Neumann. Below Schubird is a plaque telling visitors to rub his right foot for good luck.
The statue is located in front of the Meaford Hall on the corner of Hwy 26 and Nelson Street.
