Abstract
A decoy, for providing the appearance of a realistic living bird, comprising a main body, a head, and a bi-partite neck comprising an upper neck and lower neck. The upper neck adjoins the head, and lower neck adjoins the main body. A flexible member extends between the upper neck and lower neck. The flexible member comprises an upper coil spring and lower coil spring. The dual coil springs allow the head to oscillate in a complex pattern, without manual intervention, to provide the appearance of a living bird to other birds in the vicinity.
