Item identification!

Hi! I was watching an island tour on YouTube and saw this item:

Can someone tell me what it is? Thank you!

That's a Deer Scare. They've been in most AC games I can remember but, dang, did they ever confuse me as a kid. Had no clue what they were at first.
...But, at least the name's straightforward enough that I knew what they did

Omg thank you! Never would’ve thought that was what it was named lol

I think they're a very Japanese thing. I remember seeing the name of the item first (getting it as a little leaf) and thinking... what could that possibly look like? So, I was in the opposite situation- never would've thought that's what it LOOKED like

Yup deer scare but warning they don’t work. Both my deers just sit down and stare at it.

It's a DIY recipe, by the way. I have one in my bamboo grove.

And that one looks customized, btw. I have a plain one in my entry for the campsite design content. You can't quite see it all, but the bamboo is green, and then the rock pool looks like a moss covered stone.
Customization always throws me off when I'm looking at items to identify them; Avery had a dried bamboo speaker in his house and I couldn't figure out what it was for the longest time, because I think of most bamboo items as green!
