Has feathers on his neck. which flares up when pissed off and/or
cawing.

Crow. Out-cawing - when a crow caws so loudly that other crows can no
longer step to him.
Ever since then, Alpha has ruled with an iron fist, terrorizing
the field's crops and residents. In his spare time, he enjoys chasing
innocent and weak animals into the road where they're hit by cars.

HABITS
Tells old stories when he walked 50 miles to crow school
cause he couldn't fly...(didn't have a flying license).
Back Story
Life was known as Dom Crowlionne...head of the Spaghetti Crow
Family. They were the tough guys,
the family with muscle that could get anything...anything they wanted.
Once the leader, he is now washed up and
follows the current Alpha leader. Elder is indifferent about Alpha's
command and just follows the crowd. He lost
any sense of self-ambition, still traumatized from his latter years as a leader
and the fly-by shooting.
Scarecrow Basic Physical Description: -Name: Hay Zeus _Race: Scarecrow of course, but he has some relatives from Idaho (in reference to the burlap potato sack) -Age: Newborn -Sexual Orientation: Unknown Occupation: - Scarer of Crows, I think... Clothes/Costume: -Wears the usual uniform for scarecrows, overalls, large flannel shirt, old run down work gloves and boots. Has two button eyes, one of which is broken. _he also wears a pole that is driven into the ground behind his feet. Backstory: Our Scarecrow's backstory is rather brief. Due to the high volume of crows attacking the farmer's corn crops breaking the stocks, our scarecrow gets constructed by the farmer. He is a brand new baby; innocent, harmless, naive, gullible, to the horrible crow situation. He is a newbie and remains unaware to the dangerous enviornment and his reponsibilities. Because of these situations, he is somewhat a coward, getting frightened at every little thing. THe scarecrow is in search of his role (identity) in the field. He doesn't realize that his role is to scare Crows. So instead of scaring away the birds, he is scared of them and continues to get bullied around. The scarecrow allows this bullying to continue, not only to him but to the rest of the animals in the corn field. He allows this to happen because he has not discovered his identity, thus not finding the courage to stand up to the crow bullies. This continues until a bonding experience with a squirrel changed his life....forever. The bonding experence triggered an emotional side of the scarecrow, enabling him to gather up courage and scare away the crows. That courageous act would lead the scarecrow to finding his identity/role in the field. Hay Zeus' attire consists of random articles of 1930's-1940's clothing from his creator the farmer. Loose fitting clothes that are filled with HAY and a stick infrastructure. His hands, which are gloves, are less coordinated. If he tried to eat with chop sticks, he would grow frustrated fumbling with picking up the food. If he tried eating with a fork, he would use the rounded handle to scoop food and as he lifts it to his face the food would roll from the utensil and fall to the floor. Thank god the scarecrow doesn't have to eat because he's always stuffed. When he runs his legs wobble due to his wobbly knees. His floppy arms swing with follow through and recovery. His whole body is flimsy, as the torso swings back when he runs and forward when he stops...a lot of follow through recovery. Role in the Story: The SCARECROW'S role in the story is........yup u guessed it......."scare crows." Only problem is, he is too scared to perform his role and instead of scaring, he gets bullied by the crows. OUr main character gets introduced later into the film after showing the destructive characteristics of teh crows. This would give Hay Zeus something to fear and fuel his naive personality.

Backstory:
The squirrel suffers from some neurotic diseases. He has an obsessive-compulsive affliction, which mandates that everything must be clean and orderly. If anything is out of place, it makes him nervous and compels him to immediately fix the situation. The squirrel is also a compulsive eater, and thus can normally be found stuffing his face with food or chewing on the stored morsels in his cheeks. His eating disorder is primarily a coping mechanism for stress, most often derived from the complete lack of organization of his natural habitat, the field.
