apu-an n A live bird used as a lure to draw other birds into a trap, or onto a sticky stick such as a wild chicken, a dove, or a parrot. (Would not apply to a wooden duck used as a decoy because it does not make a noise or call to other ducks.) Ko moon-ing ka ogkatugaan no unawa rin no manukmanuk, apu-an ka igngaran noy to sikan no ayam no ogpaka-ayat to duma rin. If there are many birds of the same variety which which are attracted/gathered, we call that pet [ie. bird] a lure which is able to attact its companion.
