Configure this wing-flapping decoy to flap one or both wings as it simulates a helpless and tasty meal for predators in the area. It has a lifelike, blow-molded body of a pileated woodpecker and random flapping wing motion to mimic a bird in distress. The decoy comes with a heavy-duty alligator clip attached and a convenient nylon carry bag. Runs on three AAA batteries (not included).
Used this decoy approximately 6 times and it broke. From my estimation I would say the gears stripped out of it as I can hear it running, but it will not flap. I would look elsewhere for a motion flapper.
This unit is great to have as an extra decoy, due to the battery life and alligator clip that makes it versitile in all environments. You can clip this to a tree or let it flop around on the ground. A stutter between flap cycles helps with authenticity. Easy to assemble and disassemble, ran it for two and a half hours straight in sub freezing weather with no issues.
