I wish I could learn how to whistle. I’ve only been able to do it in reverse, which is not the point. I’ve seen people whistle with two fingers… no clue how on earth they do that.

The most I’ve been able to do is chirp like a bird. Learned that from mimicking a parakeet I had years ago.

I had a family member who had a fit because I did that in Home Depot, and a bird in the store was chirping back and following us.

It’s entertaining for the cats to some extent because I can also mimic the sounds that mice make.

But no… I really want to whistle.

Not like a bird.

Like a person.

A two legged, non-winged person.
