Animated decoys each having a flexible decoy body which is supported on a self-contained decoy movement device that imparts life-like movement to the decoy body. In a first preferred embodiment, the decoy body is formed of a flexible sheet material such as rubber or foam rubber, typically in the two-dimensional shape of a fowl, and includes an opening which inserts on a cylindrical collar provided on the decoy movement device. The decoy movement device is supported on the upper end of a tapered spring which is provided on the upper end of an elongated, flexible support rod, the lower end of which support rod is typically inserted in the ground. The tapered spring permits life-like feeding or swimming movements of the decoy body imparted by the decoy movement device to attract predators or other fowl for photography, observation or hunting purposes. In a second embodiment, the decoy body is constructed in the three-dimensional size and shape of a turkey, hen, deer or other fowl or mammal and includes an interior pocket or pockets for receiving respective decoy movement devices which impart life-like motions to the decoy body.

A bird decoy for attracting predators, which decoy may be supported on a rod, a rod/spring combination or suspended from a limb or pole, with wings that selectively fold and flap up and down in life-like, actual and simulated flying, landing and take-off movements, the decoy simulating foraging, predator or waterfowl birds. In a first preferred embodiment the decoy is supported on the upper end of a spring which is secured to the upper end of an elongated support rod, the lower end of which support rod is typically inserted in the ground or in the bottom of a water body. The spring facilitates life-like simulated flying movements of the decoy to attract predators for photography, observation or hunting purposes. Alternatively, the decoy can be mounted directly on the stake itself, without using the spring. In a second embodiment, the decoy is constructed in the size and shape of a foraging, predator or waterfowl bird and is suspended from a limb or pole, for flying in a circle to attract the predators.

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.

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.

A device and coupling for producing erratic, random motion in decoys to attract wildlife, which device includes an erratic motion-generating device characterized by an electric motor that causes a flexible arm extending from the motor to move in an erratic, random motion and facilitate lifelike movement of a decoy body mounted on the flexible arm by means of a typically tubular coupling. Various decoy bodies or “shells”, including goose, turkey and duck decoy shells, are adapted for mounting on hollow tubes and inserts of various length fitted on the flexible arm to facilitate the desired erratic and random motion of the decoy shells. The erratic motion device can be constructed and programmed to produce a wide variety of erratic, random and unpredictable movement in the removable decoy shells for attracting the wildlife. A method of producing erratic motion in decoys which includes the steps of mounting the decoys on a tubular coupling attached to a flexible arm extending from an erratic motion-producing device and operating the device to generate erratic, random and unpredictable motion in the flexible arm, the tubular coupling and the decoys.

An owl, simulated animal and bird decoy for attracting wildlife, and particularly predators, crows and other predatory animals and birds, which decoy is characterized in a first embodiment by a simulated owl adapted for mounting on a stake, post or support inserted in the ground or on a tree limb, with a mechanical bird extending downwardly from the owl's talons. The mechanical bird is typically provided with movable, folding wings mounted on hinged wing mounts to facilitate extending one or both of the wings outwardly, and in folded configuration inwardly of the body, wherein the wings flap and/or vibrate by means of a battery-operated electric motor in the extended and/or folded configuration to simulate distress. In another embodiment the mechanical bird may be attached to or suspended from a tree limb with one or both of the wings extended or folded to simulate distress in the decoy. In still another embodiment a simulated animal is fitted with a battery-operated, eccentric vibrating device and is suspended from an owl or a fixed object such as a tree limb.
