Hmmm... does it attract fish, or does it reduce glare/reflections nso the bird can see the fish more eaily (like when its dark outside and you cup your eyes with you hands up to a window looking from a bright room to the dark outside). I'd bet much more on that.

Reminds me of a Native American Ghost dancer. Shame about the discarded tyre鈽癸笍
