Salsa is too comical, I am slowly making my way through his videos...... I was amazed to see how his eyes pin when he speaks or gets excited.

Those are great videos! :) Salsa always makes me smile! Do birds breathe in when they make a whistle sound..or do they breathe out?! I've never thought of this before seeing Salsa's whistle but the way her wings move, it looks like she's breathing in!

I've never thought of this before seeing Salsa's whistle but the way her wings move, it looks like she's breathing in!I'm fairly certain the air carrying a bird's whistle is exiting the bird since birds are capable of whistling so loudly. While Salsa's practice whistles on that clip are relatively low in volume, he's capable of whistling quite piercingly loud when he chooses to do so. I suspect that such audio volume would only be possible upon an outward flow of air from a bird.

And BTW, Mare, you've forgotten that Salsa is a "he" ;)

:th_oops:, sorry :) the "a" at the end of his name always throws me!
