Much loved by children, these fun bird whistles from Indonesia have been handmade from bamboo.
bird whistles
There are three types of whistle available – choose between bird, duck and owl. Each type of whistle has a unique sound:
The duck whistle makes a very authentic ‘quack’ sound.
The bird whistle has a sliding stick – you slide the stick in and out to make a ‘tweet-tweet’ sound as you blow into it.
The owl whistle has a thumb hole for changing pitch – blowing into it makes a ‘whooo whooo’ sound.
