An avian decoy comprising a body having a hollow interior; a support movable between a retracted position and an extended position; and an extremity movable between a retracted position and an extended position; the extremity including a foot and a leg; the leg having a first end positioned within the hollow interior of the body and having a second end attached to the foot.
1. An avian decoy comprising:
(a) a body having a hollow interior, said body having a support aperture in the bottom thereof;
(b) an insert having a flange adapted for engagement with said bottom of said body;
(c) a support coupled to said body and movable between a retracted position and an extended position, said support including a shaft having a first end positioned within said hollow interior of said body and a second end, said shaft extending through said insert;
(d) lock means for locking said support in said extended position, said lock means including a finger movable between an unlocked position in which said support can move into said retracted position, and a locked position in which said finger engages said insert so that said support cannot move from said extended position into said retracted position; and
(e) an extremity coupled to said body and movable between a retracted position and an extended position; said extremity including a foot and a leg; said leg of said extremity having a first end positioned within said hollow interior of said body and having a second end attached to said foot of said extremity, wherein said support and said extremity are movable into said hollow interior to obtain said retracted position.
2. The avian decoy of claim 1 in which is included urging means for urging said support to said retracted position.
3. The avian decoy of claim 2 in which said urging means includes a spring for forcing said support to said retracted position.
4. The avian decoy of claim 1 in which said finger of said lock means moves between said unlocked and locked positions when said shaft of said support is rotated.
5. An avian decoy comprising:
(a) a body having a hollow interior, said body having a support aperture in the bottom thereof;
(b) an insert having a flange adapted for engagement with said bottom of said body;
(c) a support movable between a retracted position and an extended position; said support including a shaft having a first end positioned within said hollow interior of said body and a second end, said shaft extending through said insert; said support including a base attached to said second end of said shaft; said base of said support being positioned proximal to said body when said support is in said retracted position, and positioned distal to said body when said support is in said extended position;
(d) a right extremity movable between a retracted position and an extended position; said right extremity including a right foot and a right leg; said right leg having a first end positioned within said hollow interior of said body and having a second end attached to said right foot;
(e) a left extremity movable between a retracted position and an extended position; said left extremity including a left foot and a left leg; said left leg having a first end positioned within said hollow interior of said body and having a second end attached to said left foot;
(f) urging means for urging said support, said right extremity, and said left extremity to said retracted positions, wherein said support and said left and right extremities are movable into said hollow interior to obtain said retracted position; and
(g) lock means for locking said support in said extended position, said lock means including a finger movable between an unlocked position in which said support can move into said retracted position, and a locked position in which said finger engages said insert so that said support cannot move from said extended position into said retracted position.
6. The avian decoy of claim 5 in which said urging means includes a spring for forcing said support to said retracted position.
7. The avian decoy of claim 5 in which said finger of said lock means moves between said unlocked and locked positions when said shaft of said support is rotated.
