The Bird Call Lady Nicole Perretta

Nicole Perretta can imitate 165 total bird calls. She is unique among bird call imitators as she uses her voice to imitate most of the birds instead of whistling or using sound devices. She learned to produce bird calls between the ages of 6 and 11 years of age. It was at time she discovered she could capture the attention of the birds around her. She could change the direction of a flying raven, have a dove follow her, or make a hawk dive bomb an invisible foe.

Nicole has performed on national telesion. She was featured on the ," Tonight Show with Jay Leno ", twice, on October 13th, 2003 and Nov 23. 2010 , and " The Ellen Degeneres Show ", January 5th, 2005.

Bird Calling App for Android

Have you ever gone birding and heard birds, but didn't see them? They may be shy of humans, but they're curious about their own kind. "Bird Call Lady" Nicole Perretta teaches five sounds that are the basis of most bird calls. By combining these sounds you can learn to call songbirds, hawks, owls, and game birds, and draw them into the open, or even have a conversation!
