Duck decoy (model)

A duck decoy (or decoy duck) is a man-made object resembling a duck. Duck decoys are typically used in waterfowl hunting to attract real ducks, but they are also used as collectible art pieces.^[1]

Duck decoys were historically carved from wood, often Atlantic white cedar wood on the east coast of the United States,^[2] or cork. Modern ones may also be made of canvas and plastic. They are often painted to resemble various kinds of waterfowl.
