A Pecking Decoy Bird | Main Gallery

As can be observed in this charming painted decoy seen masquerading in
the plumage of a pigeon – these birds only need to be silhouette in
form to be effective as decoys. This particular model though also has
a pecking mechanism – albeit one without any advanced technology, for
it has two eyelets attached to its underside where wires can be
attached enabling it to be rocked forward and backward in a pecking
motion.
