Hi everyone,

In regards to the Audubon bird squeaker, we also have one in our birding bag (also a previous Christmas gift!). We don't use it much, but when we did to try to see some southern emu wrens all we squeaked in was a Collared Sparrowhawk! I must only be able to replicate the injured bird squeak!!

Toodle-doo,
Susie

Hi all,

This Christmas I was the lucky recipient of a gift in the form of small little device proporting to attract to wild birds through sound. It is an Audubon bird call which essentially works by sqeaking a birchwood barrell around a metal shaft. They're available from Australian Geo. shops.

Have any birders had any success with these things? They sound kinda neat and are fun to play with but are they actually capable of attracting wild birds? Has anyone had success using one? Whats the best way to use it?

        A happy new year to all.

                            Mike.
