I have started playing bird calls on my phone and the actually attracts birds. It's amazing!
That's really cool. What bird calls do you have? Any particular species you are trying to track?
It works best on Robins because they are inquisitive but I have tried other types of birds too. It works a treat and they come right up to me.
Never would have thought to use a phone for that. That's awesome that it works. Ever seen a hummingbird, they look like they are beating their wings 10,000 times a second.
No I've never seen one in real life but they are beautiful birds. I have seen a Kingfisher though and that was pretty special. There are loads of different bird calls on YouTube and you can just play them on your phone and sit back LOL.
That is a smart use of you tube. Definitely better than what most people use it for! You are really resourceful. Someone should make an app for Bird calls and songs. Maybe one that can even identifying a bird by their song.
That is an amazing idea. I love it. Why didn't I think of that? I did think of a toaster made of clear material so you can see when your toast is done but someone made it before me!
Looks like someone made the app already too. Song Sleuth it is called. Apparently it can recognize 200 different bird species!
Well you have missed your calling (pun intended). That's the thing these days, everyone gets there first! Anyway I think I'm going out bird watching this weekend. I'd take my son but he isn't interested, which is understandable..
He may not be interested now but hopefully when he gets older he will have an interest in it and will go bird watching with you. Bird Watching sounds very relaxing, something we all need more of. Probably gives you mental boosts too after clearing your mind.
