Avian-X Power Shaker Mallard Preener Duck Decoy

Unlike spinning-wing decoys that create a high-visibility flash, this model uses a vertical, up-and-down motion. This mimics the subtle, natural preening behavior of a resting mallard, which is often more effective for wary, late-season birds that have become conditioned to traditional motion decoys.

No, the batteries are not included. Each decoy requires four AA batteries to operate, providing up to 10 hours of runtime.

These decoys are specifically designed for calm backwater conditions. While the foam-filled construction is durable and buoyant, the subtle vertical motion is most effective when the water surface is relatively still, allowing the ripples created by the decoy to be clearly visible.

No, this model does not include a remote control. The decoys are designed to be set up and run continuously during your hunt.

The foam-filled construction ensures the decoys remain buoyant even if they are accidentally punctured by stray pellets. This adds significant durability and longevity to the decoys compared to standard hollow plastic shells.
