About the original
The Audubon Bird Call is a small birch-wood cylinder with a hand-cast zinc plug that produces chirping, whistling songbird calls when twisted against the wood grain, creating friction sounds pitched to attract North American perching birds. It measures roughly 2.25 inches long, ships with a small capsule of powdered rosin to refresh the friction surface, and has been continuously manufactured in Medomak, Maine by Roger Eddy and his descendants since 1947. The design has not changed since it was patented. The SS20 Supreme version is the same Maine-made birch call with a co-branded logo printed on the wooden body and retailed alongside standard production.
About Audubon
Audubon is the brand on the Audubon Bird Call, a wooden-and-zinc whistle made in the United States since 1947. Roger Eddy invented it on his farm in Newington, Connecticut, after observing Italian hunters using small wooden plugs with metal inserts during World War II. Production has since moved to Rhode Island under American Bird Products, but the cast-zinc ring is still stamped NEWINGTON CONN in honor of the original workshop. The birch cylinder, twisted against rosin-coated zinc, produces a chirp birds investigate rather than a species-specific call. Supreme has collaborated with Audubon on a co-branded version of the Bird Call.
