stubby 175 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 some may remember, I bought a dove decoy motion thingey from the usa last year, only to then buy a proper pigeon magnet the next month, so the dove decoy got left on the shed shelf, I think harry the cat had some success with his one that he bought at the same time. anyhow, one of my permissions that keeps goats and sheep, have got a big magpie problem, so rather than buying more decoys, I thought Id try and change what I had to hand, the plastic doves were noticable smaller than a magpie deek, so I need to extend the tail, and the beak looked too small, so that needed modifying too, they dont look perfect, but after a matt black spray, and some added white patches, Im hoping It'll fool the magpies what ya reckon Quote Link to post
