You mean the red wooden thing on a spindle that you twist and make a squeaking 
sound? I've got one somewhere, but I've never actually used it! I think it's 
run out of rosin but I've got some spare for a violin bow.
I understand that some birds really react well and others don't. Like pishing, 
which drives Spinebills nuts, but has nil effect on Powerful Owls. 
I've tried.
