I have one of the three piece alligator floating decoys. When I first got it and put it out it worked great........and funny. I would see the GBH coming in for a landing, see the gator and see an abrupt wing change and "oh fit" moment then fly on. Great!
Well that lasted about two days they they summarily ignored the decoy. I would move it around the pond and maybe keep one away another day or maybe it was a newby herron. But after a while they get used to it and pay no attention.
I've had similar luck with different predator decoys. Owl to keep sparrows out of our sheds, etc. They all seem to work for a while till the prey figures out if is nothing but a decoy.
