Request for Old Plastic Decoys

[Duck Soup]

Long Point Waterfowl is looking for donations of plastic duck decoys to our youth education programs. Decoys will be used to educate youth on waterfowl identification and the tradition of waterfowling in Canada through fun hands-on activities such as decoy painting. If you have decoys that you would like to donate, please contact Ted Barney, Biologist, Long Point Waterfowl at:

1-888-448-2473 ext. 151; tbarney@longpointwaterfowl.org

Hello Arnold,

I have 4 canvasback, 4 goldeneye, 4 black duck and 4 green winged teal decoys that I have "retired" from active service and that I will donate to Long Point Waterfowl to get them started.

I will contact Ted and make arrangements to drop them off.

Thanks Jerome,
I showed my wife the photo of the proud little girl with her painted decoy. She had a good laugh.....we'll have to ask Ted what species of duck it was.

Drake Mallards will mate with anything, so my guess is that it's a Mallard X Flamingo hybrid.

Hello Duck Soup,

I think that the bird (decoy) in question was (at least anatomically) a bluebill that has undergone some genetic modification to acquire the colour variations in the plumage!
