Terra Cotta Water Warblers - mimic the warbling, chirping and twittering of birds
Like their ancient counterparts, these warblers mimic the warbling, chirping and twittering of birds by slightly tilting the whistle as the sound bubbles through water in the vessel.
Instructions: Start by filling the bird with water and then gently blow into it. Empty small amounts of water until blowing produces the sweet and realistic sound of a bird warbling.
You can alter the sound by tilting the bird forward and back to create a range of warbling and chirping sounds. This range of sounds is created when air is blown into the stem, agitating the water to produce a gurgling sound which in turn, combines with the whistle to imitate the chirping of a bird.
You can experiment with different water levels, tilt angles and breath forces to create a range of bird calls.
