I found this at a grocery store in Oregon for $7.99. I laughed, thinking that was an outrageous price for such a silly device. Then I happily paid for it and have been playing with it ever since. It does a great job of attracting birds and they will come and watch you and study you as you make sounds with it.

That's an awesome price you got there. Thanks for sharing your experience, it is a great tool indeed. :)

My daughter noticed that I like to try and imitate birds that whistle but I couldn't manage to do the ones that chirp. She gave me this Audubon Bird call for my birthday last week and I love it!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your story with us 🙂

I got one for Christmas as a stocking stuffer. Whenever I go out on hikes and stuff with my husband (he's the one who loves all that), I always bring this. It's almost like the birds will follow you through the woods singing along. It's quite fun, I highly recommend. In the spring and fall, I'll put birdseed out and just sit on my back porch and play with this thing. Birds come up and look at me, and chirp back. I try my best to replicate their sounds with it. You want to get a birds attention? Well, it's this and bread, lol

I've had mine for 8 years and it's one of my favorite toys too! Sometimes squirrels are very curious about the sound too. No technique is really required, some animals are just really curious and will come near to see what's making the noise...

Hi Jason, thanks for your comment. I did not lure in any squirrels so far, weirdly enough. They only seem to go for the rations over here haha.

I have to say, I love my bird caller! It absolutely works and it’s amazing to see how many birds come to check out who’s making that sound. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Hannah, thanks for your comment. Can't agree more to what you're saying :)

I just found one of these while cleaning out a drawer at my parent's house. It was new in a blister pack and must been there for a few decades. I opened it and started making the most amazingly real bird sounds very quickly. I love birds and can't wait for the weather to warm up and try it outside, although it's addictive enough that I'm getting lots of practice inside. 😃

My favorite key chain. Don’t know if I’ve attracted too many birds with it but it definitely annoys my wife so worth it.

Hahaha well just watch out for slippers being thrown, head trauma is a serious injury. ;-)

when I was about 5 years old my father bought one of these and was very excited about it. while he was in the shower I took it out of the drawer and took out the capsule with spare resin. for some reason I decided to push on it to test if it would break, and sure enough, it broke and the powdered resin was lost. I felt sooooo bad about it. I'm 32 now and I just saw this device again for the first time, on a woodworking website. WOW!!! can't wait to receive and try it out!

Just a pinheads worth. Dip the tip of a sharp knife in the resin and gather a little of the tip then tap it in between the metal and the wooden casing.

Hi Phil, thanks for your comment. Donald has a point with the cornstarch, but it poses issues when absorbing moisture. I haven't tried violin resin but I guess this is the better choice. Tree sap should not be used under any circumstance as both sap or resin will just stick and inhibit the movement. Hope that helps, otherwise you might want to ask your trusted outdoor shop - I know that dealers can get resin caps from the manufacturer.

@jasonmartin9530

3 жыл бұрын

It's my understanding that you can use the same as for a violin, a couple of bucks in a music store for a little block. You would just have to scrape some fine flakes off with a sharp knife and drop it in there? I still have some of the rosin dust that came with it 8 years ago!

Mine brought in some stray cats...guess I'll keep trying.

Ich denke zu dem Zeitpunkt damals wusstest du es noch nicht. Vielleicht heute auch noch nicht. Vögel mit solchen Hilfsmitteln zu imitieren, verwirrt die Vögel und setzt sie unter Stress. Sollte man nicht tun! LG Sensei

Huhu, habe es jetzt zweimal versucht… Anscheinend wird mein Kommentar automatisch gelöscht, wenn ich etwas verlinke. Habe aber auf die Schnelle zwei Berichte gefunden. Ich persönlich hatte es damals in irgendeiner Naturzeitschrift gelesen. Müsste Geo gewesen sein. Im Großen und Ganzen geht es aber darum, dass es durch das Imitieren von Vogelstimmen, bei den Vögeln zu Verwirrung und zu Stress kommen kann. Dadurch vernachlässigen sie dann ihre Brutpflege, oder verlassen sogar komplett das Revier bei zu häufigem Gebrauch solcher Geräte oder Apps. Sprich, wenn man es mal macht und nicht immer an der gleichen Stelle, ist es wahrscheinlich unbedenklich. Mir persönlich wäre es das Risiko, einen Vogel zu verwirren oder zu stressen, aber nicht wert. LG Sensei P.S.: schön dass du aber überhaupt antwortest.

To subdivisions and open door one car garages everywhere (hair does not turn greasy): Do you think those are my values? Whether a bird... is what pokes holes in a parrot green bean bag chair in the office down the hall, spilling its beans everywhere? That's not going to be relevant to what millions of birds face in their own lives as problematic that we need to address on a first come bird feeder basis over eternity.

These things are great for calling small birds into shotgun range or if you hunt by falconry.
