Abstract

A flying bird decoy for attracting wildlife wherein flying bird decoys may be supported on each end of one or more rotatable rods or arms, with wings that selectively fold and flap up and down in life-like, actual flying, landing and take-off movements. The bird decoys simulate foraging, predatory or waterfowl birds and in one embodiment a pair of the bird decoys are mounted on the ends of a rod or arm(s) rotatably mounted on a pole or stake support, using throat mounts. In another embodiment the bird decoys are secured to the ends of the arm(s) at the head without the use of throat mounts, for flying in a circle on the arm(s) to attract the wildlife. In a further embodiment one or both of the bird decoys are configured to simulate one of the above bird groups and fly to generate rotation of the arm(s), with one wing folded and the other flapping to simulate injury or distress. A method for attracting wildlife using flying bird decoys which simulate dove, quail, crows, hawks, ducks, geese or the like, and includes the steps of mounting the bird decoys on a rotatable arm or arms carried by a pole or stake support and causing one or both of the wings to flap, thus causing the bird decoys to fly or vibrate in a circle around the support.
