I'm a chronic whistler  :blush:  I'm one of those annoying people who often whistles around the house, esp when I'm doing dishes  :lol:  I find this topic amusing as my eldest daughter is trying terribly to whistle at the moment and it's just not happening for the poor dot!

My fav game is whistling theme tunes from movies and getting my kids to guess (they love it)... and there is a devilish amount of fun in whistling theme tunes from more classic films that people recognise but can't quite place. I especially love taunting my husband like this - I'm so mean  :lol:

I can only whistle when I'm calling my dog. Otherwise, nope.

I can whistle a tiny bit, it's very breathy with a tiny bit of the whistle sound.

I can't do SUPER loud whistles, but can whistle fairly loudly and can whistle tunes! I mostly just tend to whistle odd notes instead of proper tunes though. I also use a loud, short, single-note whistle as a noise of frustration around a certain friend. I imagine it like the beep of an annoyed robot, lol.

Say, can anyone whistle by inhaling too? Oddly, that was how I first learned how to whistle as a kid. It's not very loud and you can't do tunes, only short noises.

I can whistle very loudly, but no tunes. I can mimic some bird sounds but only right after I heard it, and when I whistle for my dogs it tends to call everyones dogs and the whole neighborhood starts barking :P

I can whistle, and can even whistle a tune, however I can't whistle at all if someone else is whistling, even if its someone I'm just hearing on the radio/tv/computer. For some reason I've never been able to do that no matter how much I've tried.

It surprises me how many people can't whistle!

I can whistle but what I would LOVE to be able to do- is to put my fingers in my mouth and make one of those piercing shriek type whistles- you know, when people hail a cab on TV or at a sports game?  I want that!

My dad taught me to whistle when I was a kid. BUT - I could only whistle while breathing in for the longest time. I didn't learn to whistle while breathing out til I was about eleven or twelve.

Apparently the adults in our road were quite amazed by my reverse whistling  :biggrin: but I didn't know it wasn't absolutely normal!

It's quite good though - I can just whistle on and on and on, without stopping to take a breath in, cos I can carry on whistling as I breathe. It probably gets quite annoying for the poor people who have to listen to me though.
Thank you *wyvernchick* for my lovely avvie!

My grandma who I loved a lot and passed away had a Pinocchio vintage music box with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket on it that played that song and it was the only one in the room where I got to stay when I visited so that's a special song to me. I named my shop GreatFindToys on Etsy.com because she was from a place called Glens Falls so I call it GFTOYS for short :) As a kid she was the one who often besides my parents bought me care bears, a my little pony and more. I miss her and I'm glad my shop is called that to appreciate her and I love that song! Wonderful lyrics!

It's kinda hard.
It is the evil that lies in ourselves that is ever least tolerant of the evil that lies in others.
