HUnter_zero 58 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i was wondering how the uv pen attracts the birds myles Many birds use UV light as an attractant, this is very true of flocking birds such as Pigeons. The white feathers on the bird reflect UV light (white is the best at doing this). So it follows, if you can make the white on your decoys reflect high levels of UV, birds from afar will spot the decoys and come in to the pattern. UV pens can be purchased almost any where these days and are used to detect forged notes. John Quote Link to post
