Water filled plastic bags on trees scare bugs away?

Seriously? BUGS?

The random refractions as they move in the wind is evidently off putting enough to repels birds. From what I understand the original repellent was aluminum Pie Plates, but they were replaced in favor of something quieter in the wind.
