ABSTRACT:
An animated decoy comprising a generally hollow decoy body having an inner surface wherein a freely movable self-contained decoy movement device is placed in a predetermined location within the decoy body for random movement therein. The movement device randomly impacts the inner surface of the decoy body causing the decoy body to move in a predetermined manner. A generally flexible support rod having first and second ends is provided for flexibly and pivotally supporting the decoy body a predetermined distance above the ground. The first end of the support rod engages the decoy body while the second end is inserted a predetermined distance into the ground. In operation, the support rod is flexibly responsive to the movement of the decoy body. As alternative embodiments of the present invention, the decoy movement device is attached directly to the support rod or is secured between the sidewalls of the decoy body. The present invention also defines a method and kit of parts for converting a non-animated decoy into an animated decoy.
