Benny tricks an Eastern Koel into flying away.

Benny has had a lack of sleep caused by a pesky and noisy Eastern Koel near his house. He found a fool proof method of moving the bird on.

You LEGEND!!! These birds drive me nuts keeping me awake as they call continuously

[MartyTheAussie]

It’s the mating call of a male Koel. I learnt to imitate the bird without any recording and it works first time every time. Done it for years. Bird thinks there is another male around and he takes off to challenge it.

We have one been hanging around for about 2 weeks now just doesnt shut up day & nite 24/7. I played this & another longer clip & now we have the 1st day of peace in ages. It worked Thanks Benny

I'm so gonna try this. This bird is has been tormenting the neighborhood for weeks 24/7 seriously non stop. Thanks man!

This actually worked the first time I tried it a couple of days ago - I'd taped his own noise....then played it back to him next time I heard him - saw him instantly bolt from the tree as soon as he heard it - worked every time for a couple of days/middle of the nights. Now, the recording doesn't seem to bother him...dammit.
I used to love the sound of the 'storm bird' (these guys) when they came to visit before rain - now, as its taken up residence here since October (its now days off December) - cant stand the menace! so exhausted from being kept awake since 12-3am every morning for months!

It works. I used a speaker at my open window here in Kep, Cambodia and played a male call titled 'Asian Koel Sound Effect' on YouTube and the annoying little fellow duly flew away. Peace at last. Thx 4 tip, Benny!

This works, but the blasted thing keeps coming back. Also, it doesn't seem to care at night. It just keeps going. Should start a petition to drive these buggers to extinction

[dannygabriele]

Noise has has been doing my head in for months. Can not believe it worked.Cheers for the share Benny.

[steph]

I must be the only one these birds dont bother 😂 got one going outside right now, doesnt annoy me whatsoever

[tboy]

OMG.... I thought I was the only one being tormented by theses vile beings! Every morning right outside of my room and even in the afternoon when I am trying to work! Thank you so much! I’ll try this!

For the past 4 years i have been dealing with this bird 24hrs never stop, somehow i came along your video, so i turn on my boom box and played this same bird calling, i could not believe how fast that bird flew away.

[suegalton]

Thanks so much Benny, I was about to build a scarecrow! We have a pair living right on our doorstep and apart from being bloody noisy they also steal the grapes. So, thanks dude! Sue

[therealdaddychew]

Fantastic! Beats my idea the phone is also legal. I almost grabbed my 12 gauge last night but the wife talked me out of it. About to try the phone, wish me luck! Failing that i'm grabbing the stereo, see how it like a Koel call over that :P

[annigill]

You bloody legend! This bird has been driving me insane, sun up until sun down 🙁 He's gone now!!

[facefacewithbec]

This is genius, I need to try it. We have one going all night and it's driving me bananas.

[chlochloe]

I played your video as loud as anything at 4am 4 flipping times and all it did was make my pest louder and closer and more constant! Thanks mate!

[dalewhitmore]

4:30am in the morning and its driving me insaine its been 3 days im going to ring its neck!
im trying this later today ; ) thanks.

[Natinbkk]

I’ve gotten very good with a slingshot and they have moved territory. Persistence pays off. And when the shit does try to venture back to his favorite perch, I only need to step outside and he flies off.

[teknikgroup]

If you dont live in Sydney you wouldnt understand. Worse than a Kookaburra. Wretched things that go for HOURS! Loud, monotonous, starts at 2am...Some birds are clever, these things aren't. Several rungs down from a chicken.

[rebeccagallagher]

Tried this today, and guess what? it bloody worked...thank you soo is golden
