making chirruping noises
- Plastic bird shapes vary little from those of ancient days. Many were made in China or Japan and about 1932 a pea would be placed in the hollow body to make a whistle. Others could be filled with water and would make a chirrupy noise when blown into at the tail end.1971, Gwen White, Antique Toys And Their Background, page 55:
