Just let me add that isolating the mic by a big rubber suspension is the
wrong thinking: The most annoying handling noise come from the dish and
focuses at the mic, acoustically. (depending on the design)
It is (often) the dish which needs to be isolated from the handle. (Also)

If you really need a "poor mans bird mic" I recommend experimenting with a=

10 mm electret, cheapest kind + a cone for gasoline, the bigger the better.=

Place the mic with the membrane at the "exit" angle of the cone and seal
acoustically with silicon, so that the entire cone becomes a pressure volum=
