An animal decoy generally including a hollow body shell, a head portion, and preferably a sleeve that in application covers or masks a moving head mechanism. The moving head mechanism generally includes an elongated threaded rod, a nut sized to threadably engage the rod, a spring member, and upper and lower plates. In application, the threaded rod is secured to the lower plate, and the lower plate is attached to an upper end of the body. An upper portion of the threaded rod is threadably received within a first end of the spring. The upper plate includes an aperture sized to frictionally receive a second end of the spring. The upper plate is then attached to a lower end of the head portion. There is a spacing within the spring between an upper most end of the rod and the upper plate. The spacing allows the spring to act to wind power, causing the head to similarly act from the force of the wind.
