Using your car stereo for bird calls

I often like to do bird calls as I travel around; just to sample the birds feeding in the area.

This is one convenient way to do it - I always keep a horn tweeter and a pair of wired crocodile clips handy. Remove the plastic cover on the door tweeter and connects across it in parallel.

Simply play bird call CD on the car stereo and orientate the tweeter in the direction you like. It is even better to mount the tweeter on a small camera tripod.



















So there is no need to carry a purpose-build test kit.

I even keep all doors open to let the sound out from other tweeters/speakers - have fun watching the birds coming by!
