As for whistling with your fingers, my father tried to teach me when I was little, but I just couldn't grasp it.
Isn't this the truth. It seems what was facinating to us has changed from one generation to the next. My mother taught me to whistle with my fingers. I can still remeber the fun I had during that lesson and how proud I was when the first big whistle occurred. Now I use the whistle on my dogs when the get to far ahead of me on our walks in the woods. And when mommy whistles they come running. LOL
