The Jackite Canada, Blue and Snow Goose were designed to be used as a decoy for the hunter. As the Jackite bird flaps it wings and banks on the air it really does decoy in live birds.

The Tyvek material is very tough high quality industrial paper product manufactured by DuPont.

Marguerite began the project of geese kites but with all the kites she designs its in her mind before actually creating a prototype. She pondered the head and neck of the goose, how does one design a 3-D head that is rounded, a more complex challenge then first imagine. She woke on night and cut out the head, making it 3-D. Viola, she had a goose head with a rounded neck.

She spent countless hours designing each bird by cutting it out of Tyvek and watching that prototype fly, then cutting out another bird with changes she realized from the previous version, until the design was completed. Most designs took over a month to complete.

The Jackite geese have a 48 inch wingspan and comes in a 3 inch mailing tube. It has a flexing fiberglass rod that is installed across the wings which is how the birds flaps it wings.
