shi shi odoshi bird scarer
I was looking for DIY designs for one of these but didnt know what they were called.
they are suposed to fill a cup until it drops,spills out the water and bobs up again, the othere end hitting a rock with a loud clack.Supposedly scares birds and deer
my kids want a japanese courtyardand want me to make one.
the bamboo can be bought from up market florists for not too much dollars.
does anyone have a DIY design?

A quick google of "shishi odoshi plans" brought up quite a few hits.
The first few at the top all seem to lead to:

Plenty of pics on this google image search here.
Open one of the pics for more info on them. I reckon they're pretty cool, just a little out of place in my aussie backyard
Edit: third pic on the google image search has a link to directions on making one.

Japanese gardens are for me the ultimate, they can be one of the closest things to nature if done right. I havent had a client want one yet but I did get involved in building one through a school and tafe project a few years back.
Just make sure with the Shishi-odoshi to run the pump to the bamboo tube (blocked off at one end) and connect the pivot at a point that will result it turning foreward and hitting the rock below once filled with enough water.
