Do i actually need a scarecrow?

[Alucard †]

None of my crops seem to have been eaten by birds throughout majority of the summer when i started farming.

as long as your farm is completely fenced, you do not need scarecrows. So far.

Fences also stop insects too. No wildlife will spawn inside a fenced area.

Shower thought: what will happen if someone fences off the entire island?

Related question. If you create completely new landmass would stuff like animals , plants etc spawn on it naturally?

Like you can make new biomes in Terraria. Or are biome stamps just baked into the world generation like in Minecraft and cannot be altered?

Insects yes. Bush turkeys, kidnas, mus, roos, crocs, possibly. Wary mus, bush devils, and dingos? No, as they are tied to spawn points created at the beginning of the map. Plants are subject to their soil type, so you could seed a new landmass with tropical grass to get those plants.

Oh ok.

Not bad then, can make new islands with somewhat functioning wildlife and plantlife.
