steve_b_wales Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Looks okay. I bought a 'flocking' kit from a website (can't advertise it on here) It cost about £18 and did 12 crows. Very easy to use. Also there's a kit for pigeons too. PM me if you want the site address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARBINE Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Well decoys that are painted do tend to shine a bit in sun light and can put off incoming birds so some one invented flocking, well in fact its been out for years but just used in different applications, so flocking is a coating of fine fibers that is glued on to the decoy thus stopping the shine and it seems to give them a real life look. you find flocking in cars in those little compartments and inside Jewllery boxes.
