Warbling Bird – Porcelain Whistle Online now

You seek a distraction for the Strange Child and find a porcelain pipe in the shape of a bird. Fill it with water to hear its warbling whistle. You hand it to the child and she is quickly absorbed. She cups a flower in her hand. It grows large, blooms, and loosens. She folds the bird inside its petals.

This reproduction of a Victorian bird whistle is made of porcelain.  Experiment with the water level to change the tone of the whistle.  Try chirping to the birds in your yard to see if they respond to your call.  Colors and styles vary.

Warbling Bird was featured in the Strange Child Box (January 2022).
