Let Nature Ring in the Holidays and on Your Phone

Online, November 23, 2009 (Newswire.com) - New York, NY - Assigning specific ringtones to individual callers on mobile devices isn't new, having your mother-in-law ring in as a Canada Goose, just might be. Your boss squawks at you in the office -- how much would you pay to hear her sound like a common loon every time she calls? With every ring of your phone, you are that much closer to honing your bird skills for spring migration.
Wildtones®, the conservation-minded purveyor of animal and nature ringtones to mobile phones, along with animal and birding iPhone apps and wallpapers, now introduces seven brand new Peterson bird call collections comprising over 80 unique popular birdcalls on their website Wildtones.com. The bird call ringtones have a variety of sounds made by each bird and are $2.99 each for most mobile phones. Bird calls are available for the iPhone as an entire album, twelve tracks for $9.99, or as individual tracks at .99 each (plus .99 to convert to a ringtone).
With the holiday season approaching, these great bird calls can chirp their way into a favorite Christmas stocking. Up to 30 seconds per bird song allows for a range of calls from each type of bird, giving the user an opportunity to learn, and recognize, the bird calls each time the phone rings.
