They're attractive imitations, ducks (6)

I believe the answer is:
decoys
'ducks' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for decoys that I've seen before include "They're used to lure people into traps" , "Alluring things" , "Allures" , "Lures" .)
