How to call a bird<\/p>\n

Follow these simple steps and you\u2019ll have your own companion in no time<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Carve yourself a bird whistle out of the finest cedar wood, the shape you make depends on the bird you fancy\n
      \n
    1. low baritone pitches of long corridor-ed flutes for the hefty owls and great condors<\/li>\n
    2. high falsetto tones of the petite piccolo bring finches and sparrows<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Then grow yourself a bouquet of flowers – preferably calla lilies and fox gloves to play chimes as the wind runs free\n
        \n
      1. Dandelions, though weeds, make good substitutes, carrying the wishes of children on each pollen particle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Brew yourself a cup of warm tea with honey in order to make your breath extra sweet when it tunnels through the whistle\u2019s chambers, any of the blends below will do:\n
          \n
        1. Mint brings the cool breeze, the migrating geese and snowy owls of the north<\/li>\n
        2. Earl grey brings the sharp-witted eagles and raptors from the cliff tops<\/li>\n
        3. Vanilla brings the sweet hum of the finches and bluebirds, canaries and parakeets sitting atop the fruit trees<\/li>\n
        4. Hibiscus brings the warm tropical breeze, the gusts of wind which toucans and macaws ride<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        5. Wait until dusk or dawn, when the sun drips honey down the Earth\u2019s atmosphere\n
            \n
          1. The \u201cGolden Hour of Revelation\u201d, as they so call it, when the sun\u2019s glow shines like a halo, illuminating the silhouette of your future companion<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. Play a tune from your heart, and so comes forth the glazed avian soaring through the sky, perching on your shoulder as it chirps a familiar tune\n
              \n
            1. May your hopes and desires float in the current, reaching the bright plumes of your new avian friend<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
