Attracting and mastering magpie robins is easier with this app, featuring a collection of high-quality, proven lure sounds... see for yourself!
EFFECTIVE TIPS FOR ATTRACTING magpie robins
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIME (WHEN THE THROBBIN IS ACTIVE)
Murai batu birds are very responsive during active foraging and territorial hours:
Morning: 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM (when the birds start chirping/hunting for food).
Afternoon: 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM (when the birds become active again before resting).
2. SPEAKER & VOLUME SETTINGS
Use a speaker with clear audio quality so that the articulation of the shots and lure sounds are clearly audible.
Start at a moderate volume to sound like a foreign magpie robin entering its territory. If the local magpie robin responds emotionally, keep the volume natural.
Hang the speaker in a tree at a moderate height (around 2–3 meters) to disguise the sound source.
3. USE PAUSES & SOUND VARIATION (DON'T LOOP CONTINUOUSLY)
The magpie robin is an intelligent hunting bird and is easily suspicious if the sound sounds monotonous:
Play a lure or mewing (call) for 2–3 minutes, then pause for 1–2 minutes.
Vary between the female's call (to arouse curiosity) and the male's loud shooting (to arouse territorial feelings).
4. STATEGIC LOCATION (LURK SPOT)
The app will work best if you place the lure in the magpie robin's favorite roaming area:
In ravines, damp valleys, or along small rivers (favorite places for magpie robins to hunt insects/worms).
Near the shade of a large tree with lots of undergrowth.
Near an open hanging branch where magpie robins typically perch to monitor their territory.
5. COMBINATION WITH A DEKOY (REAL STATUE/LURES)
Place a fake magpie robin statue or a real magpie robin on a slightly exposed branch/twig near the speaker.
Wild magpie robins, lured by the sound, will immediately approach the decoy position to challenge or approach their 'rival'.
Good luck with your lure! Cheers to One Hobby!
