A bird decoy has an elongate chassis (11) with a spike (15) on which the body of a dead bird can be impaled. Side members (12) hold the dead body in position laterally. Arms (16, 17) mounted pivotally in the nose (27) of the chassis carry "crocodile" clips (18, 19) at their respective ends and are spring-loaded back towards the chassis. In use, the clips (18, 19) grip the wing tips of the dead bird; the arms (16, 17) are actuated by pulling one end of a line (not illustrated) the other end of which is attached via a linking cord (22) to each arm; and the resultant pivotal movement of the arms, and wings, away from and back towards the chassis simulates the wing-flapping movements of a live bird.
