Troubleshooting
Decoy is unstable in wind
Ensure the pegs are firmly planted in the ground. Consider using additional natural elements like twigs or small rocks to brace the decoy, or place it in a more sheltered location.
Flocking appears matted or damaged
Gently brush the affected area with a soft brush. Avoid rough handling during transport and storage. Store flat or upright without pressure on the flocking.
Legs are difficult to attach
Check for any debris in the attachment points and gently align the legs before applying firm pressure. If resistance is met, do not force; re-examine alignment.
