stork 1 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hello toy you all. I would like to pick your brains and ask which whistle you use to call your birds NOT THE 2 LEGGED VARIATY for a male harris any good sites to get one on or can you use a normal dog whistle.?? ATB.

Kat 3 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hmm normal dog? lol Anyway.. I use my voice to call the bird and whistle with my lips. If I used a dog whistle my dog would be even more baffled but if you must add another whistle to your outfit try something as different as possible to the one you use for your dog.. Perhaps a referee one. Usually my hunting bird has one eye on my whereabouts and a quick flash of a chick leg brings her to me. Quote Link to post

Ok so the lips are the best for you but if you had to use one as a back up what would it be? Quote Link to post
Kat 3 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 a refs one as I suggested or something totally different to the one used for your dog.. Assuming you use or intend to use a dog. Quote Link to post

Fletcher 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I usually whistle him back with my mouth but if chased something quite a distance I use an old police whistle. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COLLECTORS-OLD-LIVER...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to post
