The sound of the whistle... https://youtu.be/VfXE-RxKna4

alistairSH•3h ago

Thanks you, the article doesn't have the sound.

Nor does it have a photo of the whistle attached to a pigeon!!!

Isn't the leftmost pigeon carrying one here? http://www.chinatoday.com.cn/ctenglish/2018/cs/201911/W02019...

dylan604•1h ago

That's kind of horrific. Not only is there a horrible sound, but then the camera shows the results of this aerial attack with all of the bird poop. Such a strange video.

You don't like Beijing's version of the whistle tip?

xg15•50m ago

Gotta be a sign of the times that the first spontaneous association I had was that of air raid sirens.

Thanks a lot for the link though!

I saw trained pigeons flying from my hotel rooftop in Wuhan when I visited in 2001. Someone on another building was commanding them to fly in patterns with flags. I don't recall if there were any whistles involved, but it was a really captivating sight to watch that I have never seen since.

I thought for sure this was going to be whistle designed to scare off pigeons or something. Turns out they attach whistles to pigeons so they make sounds when they fly! Very interesting.
