Frequently Asked Questions
Is the bird whistle made of ceramic or clay?
The bird whistle is made from a mix of materials. While clay is used in ceramic production, these whistles have different compositions, such as a distinct blend for the painted variety compared to the unpainted ones.
Is it a toy? Can I give it to a child?
The bird whistle is not a toy and is classified as a musical instrument. It is not suitable for children under three years old due to its fragile nature. If given to a child, it must be used under supervision. Avoid playing it too close to anyone’s ears, as it produces a loud sound.
How do you play the bird whistle?
Place the mouthpiece on your lips and blow softly. The sound starts high-pitched and squeaky. To adjust the tone, fill the chamber with water. The more water you add, the more birdlike the sound becomes.
Does it come with a booklet or manual?
The bird whistle does not come with a manual, but it's easy to use. Simply follow these three steps: blow into the whistle, fill it with water, and adjust as needed.
How do you care for the bird whistle?
After use, empty the water from the whistle and let it dry completely before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high humidity, to prevent damage. Handle with care, as it is fragile.
