Welcome to Sweet Bella's line of unique birdcalls.
All of our bird calls are handmade in France by the Quelle Est Belle company. They are handmade from lasting materials such as boxwood, maple, and beech, as well as rubber, leather, and brass. Each call is housed in an individual wood box as shown. These calls will provide you a unique way of communicating with birds by imitating their song. Instructions are included.
On this page below you'll find photographs of some of our more popular calls. Please click on the photos of selected calls to see video demonstrations (high-speed internet recommended).
A complete list of the 50+ American and European calls available is listed at the bottom of the page, as well as details on our gift and travel sets.
Thanks! If you need more information, please write or call.
