Description
This cheerful wooden bird whistle toy is a small songbird that chirps when you blow through its striped tail. Our Ko-Ko whistle has a flat, rounded body painted in a bright colour, with a contrasting teardrop wing flecked with little yellow dashes and a banded tail finished with a yellow tip. On top sits a round head left in natural wood, with two black dot eyes, a pointed orange beak and a tuft of yellow thread for a crest. It comes in blue with a green wing or pink with a deeper pink wing; this is an assorted line, so we send one whistle chosen at random and cannot promise which colour arrives. It is 7.4cm long, 5.5cm high and 2.4cm wide, and weighs only 0.018KG.
Small enough to slip into a pocket or a bag, it is a toy for making fun and silly chirping sounds, whether that is calling across the garden, joining in with a game or adding a little birdsong to a rainy afternoon indoors. A loop of cord at the top of the head lets it hang from a hook, a peg or a door handle between games, so it is always easy to find. Its bright painting and natural wood head give it real charm, so it sits happily on a shelf when nobody is playing.
It is made from wood, plastic and cotton, with a smooth painted finish on the body and wing. As is good practice for painted wood, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth, let it dry naturally and never soak it or leave it standing in water. Keep it somewhere dry between uses and hang it by its loop so the crest stays neat. Wrapped in tissue with a handwritten tag, it makes a small, cheerful gift with plenty of character.
