Pet Media Birchwood-and-Metal Original Audubon Bird Call

I got this for my husband for Christmas as a fun little gift. We have started feeding the birds in our backyard and I honestly think they are attracted to the sound of this. It really does sound just like the birds!

Great little bird call!

Co-workers can never figure out what us making the sound!! They will wonder what is wrong with the copy machine. The fun to be had is limitless

Ive gotta say that this little gadget made my 11 year old strangely happy. Hes a little nature lover and was thrilled to get this very inexpensive gift. Of all of his birthday gifts, he singled this one out as the most used. He spends long periods of time practicing calling birds and is excited when one responds. This product has stood up to neglectful boy abuse (left outside, stepped on....etc) It keeps on working and looks the same as when we got it. I only wish that the instructions had included directions on how to oil it if and when the squeak should go out. So far after 6 months of use and abuse it is going strong! I will warn parents that these little stinkers can give off a piercing tweet and kids will have problems remembering to use them only outside!

This is the best!!! Easy to keep in ur pocket Bird calls just a twist away!! The birds even sing back!!

I received an identical Audubon bird caller from my uncle in the 1950s. Lots fun talking to the birds while walking my dogs.

Im giving this three stars because when I opened the package that this came in (the outside envelope), I immediately noticed that there was brown dust like material all over in the bubble with the Bird call thing. I assumed the resin came separately to use when needed. What appears to have happened is that there was a crack in the capsule that the rosin came in (which was shoved inside the round metal circle thing on the bird call) and because of the crack in the capsule, the rosin had emptied out all inside the bubble, smeared all inside the packaging (and the bird call itself) during shipment inside the bubble compartment. As careful as I was, much of the rosin was unable to be saved for later. Not a problem now, but I guess it will be when I need to put rosin on the thing when needed. I have very little of it left. The bird call thing works and seems pretty cool. Im just worried about when that rosin stuff wears off. I have to research how to get more I guess. Probably cheaper to buy another bird call thing.

This might sound funny, but I use this to attract my cats attention when taking pictures. Id have to practice a lot to attract birds

Im not much of a bird watcher, but I do hate the maintenance man that takes care of things around my apartment building. He was always telling me how Im not allowed to ride the homemade zipline I strung up to get from my balcony to get to the the laundry room on the ground level in under 7 seconds. He went so far as to disassemble the line, and even confiscated the electrical cable Id borrowed from the construction site across the street. So in order to get even with Rick-the-killjoy-maintenance-man, Ive taken upon myself to sneak into the crawl space that spans my entire building. I usually go up there around 2 in the afternoon and again at 7 pm when my neighbors are most likely to be home and give a couple of twists to my Pet Media Birchwood-and-Metal Original Audobon Bird Call. I hear a lot of muffled complaints and a couple of folks even bang on their ceilings with brooms in a fruitless effort to get the bird to fly to some other part of the crawl space. And sure enough like clockwork, old Rick gets a call about the bird living above their place and has to clamber up there trying to chase the nonexistent noisemakers away. On his 11th trip up there at the insistence of Mrs. Beechwood in apt. 23A, I could have sworn I heard him threaten to quit this job forever if he didnt find that bird. Of course he didnt just say, bird but rather a slew of colorful expletives, the likes of which Im not about to repeat here. Suffice it to say he expressed his displeasure in no uncertain terms. Very convincing call and a compact package that fits neatly in my 5th pocket. And under $8, is a pittance to pay to get my zip-line back. 5 stars all around.
