ABSTRACT:
A bird decoy used to attract waterfowl, such as ducks and geese. The decoy comprises a frame that represents a three-dimensional outline of the head, neck and body of a waterfowl. The frame is constructed of a semi-flexible material which will maintain a certain shape. An air-tight, light-weight, flexible covering is disposed about the outside of the frame to represent an entire three-dimensional shape of a waterfowl. The constructed decoy is open on its bottom side so that a plurality of decoys may be stacked compactly, one upon the other, in their assembled form. The decoy may be supported above the ground by a stake, for the purpose of allowing the decoy to move in a life-like manner when affected by the wind. Alternatively, the decoy may include the same neck and head frame with two stakes protruding downward from the rear of the neck and a windsock-type body portion of flexible material extending from the rear of the neck. The flexible material is also disposed about the outside of the head and neck frame to represent the entire shape of a waterfowl. This decoy is also compactly stackable without assembly or disassembly.
