ABSTRACT:
An animated bird decoy including a body and a pivoting mechanism mounted therein is disclosed. The pivoting mechanism pivots the body relative to a support assembly inserted into the earth. The pivoting mechanism includes a battery-operated motor, which creates a rotary motion, which rotary motion is transformed into reciprocal motion and which is in turn transformed into pivotal or oscillatory motion of the body in a vertical plane about a pivot axis of the support assembly. The support assembly is pivotal in a horizontal plane to selectively present a high profile to game birds. A method of the invention shows how a bird decoy body can be modified to include the pivoting mechanism.
