I'm homesick . . what can I say - I saw the store was back and instantly surfed over. 5 years in England and I still haven't seen a shop like you. Good luck.

COMMENT

FAVE

When twisted, this remarkable instrument will make a variety of sounds and will attract all manner of wild birds.

Made in Connecticut by the late Roger Eddy (Roger, a retired Senator, died in 2003) and his wife Dorothy ... on their kitchen table for over 50 years (see the great photo at left). Made today by his grandchildren ... also crafted by hand in New England, and now considered the standard bird call throughout the world.

Classic Audubon Bird Calls are handmade from small hollow birchwood cylinders, pre-cast metal stems and red paint. Now also available with a natural finish.

Roger felt great passion and took great pride in his product, and this always made it a natural for the REMO General Store. We first ordered them in 1989, and this began our relationship with Roger and his squeaky object of passion.

We received this letter received from him in 1991:

"Thanks for mailing me your REMO catalog. I think it's terrific. Really great. I assembled my help here, and read them the parts which apply. directly or indirectly, to The Audubon Birdcall. My wife and I still possess the "passion" you emphasize. Thanks again for the catalog. Yours,
Roger Eddy – Newington, Connecticut."

| Amazing - apparently!
Father's day gift for a zoologist. 8 year old grandson had to show him how to use it and the birds of Mt Tamborine have never been the same!

| Best loved item of my modest bird-call collection
As a musician and inveterate lover of anything that makes an interesting noise, I bought an Audubon bird call from Remo and frankly have never regretted it. Regularly enjoying chirpy conversations with tiny feathered creatures, and with practice a range of expressive and convincing bird immitations becomes possible. Most rewarding interaction, walking in the woods becomes an interactive experience with the wonderful Audubon squeaker.

| One of my favourite things
Bought one of these at Oxford Street years ago. Not sure why. But it remains in the top drawer of my desk. Comes out for a chirp every now and then. V therapeutic. And birds chirp back. Gives you faith in the universe somehow. A simple, quirky, honest, good, fun thing. And cheep. I mean cheap.

| great little gift
it does work :-) i've given them to people of many ages - 7 and 10 year old boys [who were fascinated and left their computers and consoles to play with a bit of wood!] to parents of babies.

| Great to wake up kids
I have always had one of these gizmos since I was a kid. Works great. Not only do I use it on walks in the woods to converse with feathered friends, but also use it to wake sleeping teens who do not wish to do chores. Drives them nuts.

| Defence of the Birdcall
Netherlands Rob, maybe yours is a different version? Mine is still happily squeaking after 11 years or sporadic use. It comes with a capsule full of rosin (you know the stuff they use on voilins). Maybe you need a dash of that.

| good...and what more can you ask
The mother-in-law bemoaned the ever shrinking bird population...the cars drive them away...so, I gave her one of these. The birds like it. So she likes it. So I like it. Mother-in-laws are not always so easily pleased.

| don't buy it
In the first place it's to expensive and it stops making a sound very fast. I'm the owner off a bird call and after 2 weeks it doesn't make a sound any more.
