Abstract

An avian decoy including a decoy body; a stake having an upper end for rotatably supporting the decoy body, and having a lower end for being anchored to a support surface; and a guide for guiding the upper end of the stake into proper position in the decoy body.

Claims (6)

1. An avian decoy comprising:

(a) a decoy body;

(b) a stake having an upper end for rotatably supporting said decoy body, and having a lower end for being anchored to a support surface;

(c) an arm member extending from said stake; and

(d) guide means for guiding said upper end of said stake into said decoy body; said guide means including a funnel for guiding said upper end of said stake into proper position; said funnel of said guide means having a first slot therein for receiving said arm member extending from said stake for limiting the rotation of said decoy body on said stake; and said funnel of said guide means having a second slot therein for receiving said arm member extending from said stake for preventing any rotation of said decoy body on said stake.

2. The decoy of claim 1 in which said first slot of said funnel is wider than the width of said arm member to allow a rotation of said decoy body on said stake when said arm member is positioned in said first slot; and in which said second slot of said funnel is the same width as said arm member to prevent any rotation of said decoy body on said stake when said arm member is positioned in said second slot.
