Self taught in 7th grade Math class - the reason I remember is my Math Teacher was behind me when I did it - I can still feel the slap he give me on the back of my head. :( but I still can do it. I can also open one side to make it sound like a owl :lol:

I used to be able to do that -- whistle with a blade of grass -- but I don't think I could do it now. You have to keep some tension on the grass, and my arthritic meat-hooks probably couldn't achieve that level of manual dexterity.

The "owl call" is a different sound, like blowing across a coke bottle.
“Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world.”
- Kaiser Welhelm

"The call is a loud wulli-wulli, and there is much twittering at the drinking holes."
