Where do the birds scaring the fall crops go to grab a drink after a long day of flying around the field?
A crowbar
This wordplay is a pun on the heavy metal hand tool known as a crowbar. It splits the compound word into 'crow' (the bird often chased away by scarecrows in autumn fields) and 'bar' (an establishment serving drinks). Solvers connect the agricultural bird pest with a local drinking spot to unearth the pun.
