Chinese Pigeon Whistles and Flutes
July 8, 2009
As this is another dying custom of Ancient China it is difficult to find much about pigeon whistles and flutes.
The China Fancy Pigeon Conservation Center was created by its founder “Wang Shixiang” now ninety three years old. This center is dedicated to the breeding and preservation of as many ancient Chinese pigeon breeds as possible. It houses some 137 breeds and Wangs interest in many of Chinese cultures lead him to write the definitive book on Chinese Pigeon Whistles.
I was shown around the center by Mr. Hou the head technician and given a demonstration to the whistles in flight.
Go to the end of the website and see the video to understand how perplexingly amazing this is.
