Audubon Bird Call
Audubon Bird Call

Audubon Bird Call

Invented by Roger Eddy in 1947 and still made by the Eddy family in Rhode Island USA. When twisted, this remarkable little birchwood and metal instrument makes a variety of sounds similar to wild birds. Each Audubon Bird Call is handmade and individually tuned, tending to work much better than standard “pishing”.

It is the standard songbird call throughout the world and whilst it doesn’t mimic a single specific bird, the sound it makes gets inquisitive birds to come in closer to check out the noise. In Australia, this works particularly well on honeyeaters, thornbills, fairy-wrens, emu-wrens, grasswrens, scrubwrens, gerygones, whistlers, and occasionally even Tyto owls will come in to check it out at night if you’re quiet!

With reasonable care it should last a lifetime – just keep it dry. Can be carried in pocket, on a key ring, or worn on a lanyard.
