NICOLE PERRETTA
 
“The Bird Call Lady:
In Picture, Words and Song” 

 

Nicole Perretta (The Bird Call Lady) will be our Sat. night featured speaker. Visit her on the web @  www.bird-calling.com.  Nicole has been a guest on Jay Leno and  the Ellen Degeneres show and is well know for the unique way she uses her voice to call birds. Today, Nicole can imitate 158 total bird calls, representing 133 Species. Nicole is unique among bird call imitators as she uses her voice to imitate most of the birds instead of whistling or using sound devices.

Nicole's current ‘Bird Call Lady’ website features her bird call and performance list. The ‘Bird Calling Video’ page shows footage of wild birds being called in by Nicole. The third page, ‘ Sound Clips’ is Nicole’s voice over page that has demos of various bird calls.
