can waterfowl smell?????? or most any birds for that matter???

Copy Pasted from the Quack Attack add:

"Quack ATTACK is a SWEET SMELLING, rising aroma that helps bring ducks and geese to your Hunting Area! The synthetic Scent found in Quack ATTACK is a pure, legal way to bring waterfowl to you without use of “bait.” The Sweet Smell resembles food to Ducks and Geese and lures them in for a closer look, getting them into gun range! Great for flooded timber, rice fields, open water, marsh, and potholes; after the Quack Attack is opened, it releases a food mimicking scent that puts the landing gear down on Ducks and Geese. Finally, a Wildgame Innovation made for Water Fowl Hunters that can be used legally across the United States. Quack Attack is lightweight, easy to carry in the field, and easily fits into a shell box or backpack. Ducks and Geese won’t know what hit em’ when they’ve been Quack ATTACKED! "

I find this a pretty reliable source.....

"Whether birds have a sense of smell or not has been a much debated question by ornithologists. Modern data based on experiments and anatomy of both the nasal cavities and the olfactory lobes of the brain suggest that most birds have practically no sense of smell. The exceptions are Kiwis which have poor eyesight and hunt worms using their sense of smell. Several species of tubenoses which can detect the smells of fish oils floating on the surface of the sea, allowing them to find schools of fish or anchovies because their messy feeding causes an oily scum to form on the surface of the sea. The third group of birds definitely known to use smell to locate food are the vultures - both old world and new world species have been shown to find carcasses by smell to varying degrees. Other groups of birds with well developed olfactory lobes, but for which the actual evidence of the use of smell to locate prey is lacking, include various waders, many water birds, nightjars and swifts.

Most birds have two external nostrils or 'nares' situated near the base of the top mandible of their bills. In species of tubenoses (Shearwaters, Albatrosses, Petrels, etc) these are accompanied by large external growths, in other birds they are inconspicuous. In Kiwis the nostrils are situated near the tip of the bill not the base and in Gannets the external openings are closed - they have alternative openings on the inside of the the upper mandible of the bill.

Birds breathe through these nostrils which lead the air into a series of three internal nasal cavities. These purify the air of dust, etc, and humidity before it enters the respiratory system thus preventing damage to the delicate tissues of the lungs."


So I personally would say that this stuff is a joke... much like this stuff....

Yes birds can smell....some have more advanced then others. Take the Vulture fir example.

If ducks and geese could smell that well we would never shoot them:p

[Rick Frisch]

Same with Turkeys. I don't think they can smell. If they can, it isn't very well.

[Greenhead Smacker]

I don't believe they can smell either.

How many times have you had a group of ducks/geese come into your spread from downwind and land in the decoys? A lot i'm sure. If they could smell, they would pick you off with their nose everytime they did that.
