ABSTRACT:
A plastic shelled game bird decoy is converted to an animated decoy by providing rod-like wing supports rotatably mounted to the interior of the plastic shell and attached together to an operation cord, wire, rope, or the like in a manner that can rotationally move the supports away from the exterior of the shell body. Flexible wing members resembling the wings of the decoy specie are attached to each of the rod-like wing supports so that movement of the rods will simultaneously move both of the wings in a realistic flapping or flagging movement. The wings can be in separate pieces or preferably a single piece attached to the rods and to the back of the decoy shell. In combination with the operation cord, a neck cord is attached to the operation cord and to a cylindrical, rotatable neck mounting member so that lateral movement of the operation cord away from the decoy will simultaneously move both the wings and rotate the neck mounting member so that the head and neck of the bird decoy will turn while the wings are flagging or flapping.
