stubby Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 OK, don't laugh, but whenever I'm out shopping with the Mrs I'm always thinking of other things, and outside of the box, so when we went into wilkinson's and I saw this little fella on the reduced shelf at £2.00, the cogs started whirring. battery operated, by pressing a front paw, ears flapped and tail wagged, whilst blasting out some stupid tune http://youtu.be/sNo3nS26FB8 so, back home in the shed, I thought it may take a day or so to covert, it took just over an hour, cut out the speaker, cut the base out from a plastic crow decoy, put the dogs head inside the body of crow, with slots for the ears, the spike for the crow went straight through dogs head, then cable tied it on nice an tight, the ears become wings, OK, slightly smaller than crows wings, but I'm hoping the movement alone will make that not matter, the eyes that I cut out the dogs head, then stuck to the tail, to try and look like an animal the crow is feeding on, then a bit of black spray. will have to extend the push switch with a bit of black speaker cable, around 20yds, so I can activate it from a distance, and using it along with the primos crow caller I just bought, I'm hoping to get a few crows http://youtu.be/Vub3yOKir5E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Very keen of you! It occurs to me that if you had left the 'dog' intact it could well attract either crows or foxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think that as I was spraying bits black, although if you have seen my past inventions, you'll see I already made a fox decoy from a £2.00 push along horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainman_l Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thats awesome, well done Stubby. I have not laughed so much in ages especially since the crow looks like its got a live puppy wriggling around whilst hanging out the crows rear end.
