water warbler

We've had it for about a year now, and the sound is lovely. Birds will swoop down to check out what is going on. It is a delightful little instrument, and my daughter has a great time 'chatting' with the birds. I think I will get one for each of my daughter's friends this Christmas.

This is a lovely little hand-carved wooden bird whistle. You can tell a lot of detail went into making this. It's extra cool that adding a little water makes it sound so much like a live bird. Absolutely beautiful.

I couldn't get it to really warble when I tried, but I think I was being too cautious. My son just grabs it (once it's filled with water), puts the whole mouthpiece in his mouth, and blows as hard as he can. It does the trick, though often it makes a sustained shriek-y noise instead of a birdsong. He has a lot of fun with it, especially now that he can play with it outside (he tends to splash around with it, but he's only 2). I think it looks lovely, too.
