6-in-1 Whistle Instructions

Mallard Drake
Place the mouthpiece of the call between your lips and hold it with your front teeth. Say the word “Dweeeeet” into the call as deeply as you possibly can. Another method is to hum or buzz the word “Whaaaat” into the call. This will mimic the raspy quack of a drake mallard.

Pintail
Place the mouthpiece between your lips and hold it with your front teeth. With your hand, hold the outside edge of the bell end with your thumb and ring finger and use your middle finger to block the hole in the end of the call. This will force all the air/sound to come out the top hole. To make the pintail sound, blow into the call while rolling your tongue to make a trilling sound that kind of sounds like a short blast from a police whistle. Make short bursts of this trilling sound to sound like a group of pintails. The cadence should be somewhat erratic – Peep, (pause) peep, (pause) peep-peep-peep

Wigeon
Place the mouthpiece loosely between your lips and hold it with your front teeth and say the words “who WE who” into the call. Your emphasis should be on the WE syllable. Do this several times to sound like a flock of noisy wigeons.

Teal
Place the mouthpiece between your lips and hold it with your front teeth and let out the smallest sharp burst of air possible making the call produce a “chirp”. Repeat this several times to sound like a greenwing teal. The cadence should be varied and erratic – “chirp (pause) chirp-chirp (pause) chirp”

Wood Duck
Place the mouthpiece loosely between your lips and hold it with your front teeth. Say the word “TooWheeeeeeeeeet” into the call to produce the contented whine of a wood duck. When calling wood ducks, always mimic the sounds they make while resting on the water. Never make the screeching sounds they make while flying, as this is an alarm call.

Bobwhite Quail
Place the mouthpiece between your lips and hold it with your front teeth. With your hand, hold the outside edge of the bell end with your thumb and ring finger and use your middle finger to block the hole in the end of the call. This will force all the air/sound to come out the top hole. Say the words “Bob, Bob, White” into the call. As you are saying the word “White” into the call, move your middle finger slightly away from blocking the hole and it will produce the “gather up” call of a bobwhite quail.
