Backyard and Beyond 
Imagine going to view a house you are considering for your future home and finding mannequins posed in each room ostensibly doing what you would do there. The one in the kitchen either cookingt or washing dishes might not bother you. Neither would one sleeping in a bedroom, but someone sitting on the toilet or a couple getting frisky in the bed might affect your desire to live there. Mannequins can get creepy and decoys probably share some of the same aspects.
If I were a purple Martin I’d think the apartment building was full and keep on flying.
