Duck decoy

Eendenkooi Nooitgedacht (de kooi van Verstoep)

The Krimpenerwaard has traditionally known duck decoys. One of them is Nooitgedacht. The kooiker lured wild ducks with his tame ducks to the duck decoy. The mallards followed the domestic ducks through the narrow, winding ditches of the duck decoy, also called the pipe, and ended up in a trap. This is where the expression 'going out the pipe' comes from. Duck decoys are enclosed by tall forests and are therefore easy to spot.
