Abstract
The apparatus includes three 1.5 volt D-size batteries and two electric motors with arms and/or shafts extending to the head and tail area. The apparatus is mounted inside a commercial duck decoy and provides vertical head movement and propulsion with resulting water splashing and rippling actions when the decoy is afloat. These motions enhance the attraction of the decoys to flying waterfowl.
