Bird decoys for attracting predators, one of which decoys may be rotatably deployed
on a rod with one wing folded, the other wing extended and both moving to simulate
a wounded bird. Other embodiments include a mechanical flying bird supported on
a rotating arm in a single bird flying configuration, a pair of mechanical flying
birds deployed in tandem on a common rotating arm and a stacked flying bird configuration
of four birds. A method for attracting predators using bird decoys which simulate
dove, quail, crow, hawk, duck, geese or the like, and includes the steps of rotatably
deploying a bird decoy with a folded wing on a rod or stake and causing the extended
wing to flap and the folded wing to vibrate, thus simulating a wounded bird. The
method also includes mounting one or more mechanical flying birds on a rotating
arm or arms attached to an upright support for simulating circling of the various
decoy birds in selected locations to attract predators.
