If you want to imitate the sound of a pigeon there is no need to buy a fancy whistle. You can make a pigeon sound using your own two hands. This is useful when hunting and trapping pigeons, as well as bird watching. Follow these steps to learn how to make a pigeon sound using your hands.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Lift your dominant hand so that your fingers point upwards. Hold the fingers together until they feel strained. Do the exact same thing with the opposite hand.

  2. Step 2

    Place the pinkie finger of your dominant hand on the pointer finger of your non-dominant hand. This will make an intersecting line if looked at from above.

  3. Step 3

    Wrap the thumb of your dominant hand over the thumb of your non-dominant hand and press your palms together. When your hands are in this position you shouldn't get any air in them.

  4. Step 4

    Make a small gap by opening your thumb slightly. It should be about a 1/2-inch in width and shifted slightly towards your don-dominant hand. If the gap is too large you will not be able to make a pigeon sound.

  5. Step 5

    Lay your lip on top of your thumb. Narrow the gap a little more and blow downwards to make a pigeon sound. It will take several attempts to accomplish an actual pigeon sound.

Tips & Warnings
  • The more narrow the gap in your hands the higher pitch the pigeon sound will be. If the gap is larger the sound will be deeper.
