   oh no, i sent it a second after somebody else. but i think it is used to practice shooting, you can tell it has a hinge on the bottom so that when it gets shot it falls over, it is metal so that it doesn't damage when it is hit.

   I don't really think it's a Duck Door Knocker. I just wanted to type Duck Door Knocker!

   It's for wiping muck and mud off your shoes before you enter the house.

   It is a "snow bird" used to trap snow on a roof to act as insulation.

   These are regularly spaced along the roofline and during winter the figure is lifted to act as a barrier to prevent the snow from sliding off of the roof.

   They are also commonly seen in the shape of eagles as well as other animals and occasionally in abstract shapes.

    Looks like a boot scraper, but that might be too obvious.

    Hmm, my comment about it being a boot scraper for removing muck and mud before coming indoors seems to have dissappeared!!!!

    This must be too easy! Yeah, guessed right at first try by Bryan just 17 minutes after this post went up.

    Alan, sorry bout that - your comment must have tripped wordpress' spam filter somehow.

    a doorstop with interchangeable decoration (right now a duck... unscrew it and replace with something else if you like).

    I guess it is a target in a shooting game of some sort as well.

    Hey, awesome! Do I win a T-shirt or just bragging rights? You know these are easy when I get them because I usually just guess, "It's a bong!"

    By the way, that thing you use to scrape mud off your boots is commonly called a "mud butler." I learned that from watching the Mystery Science Theater version of Ed Wood's "The Violent Years" last night, so it must be true.
