Book Reviews of The Art of Pishing: How to Attract Birds by Mimicking Their Calls (Book & Audio CD)

Book Review: Informative, intelligen and very humorous
Summary: 5 Stars

The Art of Pishing is an excellent source for learning how to attract birds by mimicking their alert/alarm calls. The humor in the book is a delightful surprise and kept me reading for the next one-liner. At the same time the author clearly explains how to "pish". If that's not enough the CD that comes with the book provides a complete series of lessons on how to make pishing noises. Excellent book!

This title contains a book & CD. Learn the arcane yet effective art of pishing from a master. In this unique package, renowned birder Pete Dunne presents an illustrated workshop on how to attract birds by making precise and well-practised hisses, whistles, chips, and squeals (along with some kisses and thumps) that almost guarantee spectacular success in the field. The text explains the how's, why's, and when's of 13 different pishes, including the basic pish, stutter pish, whisper pish, knockdown pish, screech-owl warble, sequential chip, and squeal. The soundtrack features audio demonstrations so you can compare your efforts to an expert's. Together, this book and CD will send you well on your way to becoming a pisher extraordinaire. This first-ever how-to book on this time-proven technique features 13 pish explanations and audio demonstrations by Pete Dunne.
