This is why it can be hard to learn to play the whistle

Why I fear the day my wooden flute arrives, and why $7 whistles are a good thing.

The green one gets jealous and wants to sit on my fingers and yell while I play and bite the whistle when she gets a chance.

The white one is well-behaved but is coveting the glass of wine in front of me.

Beauty and the beast in a single package! :laughing: OK… those are gorgeous birds, but eating the instruments is a big no0no!

Great pics! When I first took up the whistle, our junior cat was always wanting to chin-mark the whistle. I don’t know whether it was to assert dominance over the screeching thing or if she really liked it.

:laughing: those are real nice birds ya got there.

Do they ever whistle along with you? :laughing:


Beautiful birds!

I’ve decided they are trying to ‘subtly’ knock it out of my mouth so I will quit screeching and they can have my attention focus again.

You can see in the first picture the green bird’s mouth is open mid-squawk.

Ah, the bird-song of the parrot…
