The only time I've ever been able to whistle unaided is when my front two adult teeth were coming in and had a perfectly sized gap between them, but that didn't last long. Since that closed up, the only whistle I've been able to perform is the grass whistle. (Apparently this is also an action in Pokemon. To be clear, I'm not referring to that.)
I hear ya there, same here, I learned how to do the grass whistle thing back when I was like 7 years old. That's kinda neat really, and can be pretty loud if done right and with a good large blade of grass. π
Oooh. I always loved doing this as a kid and then showing my kids.
I've never done it between the thumbs. I simply hold a piece of grass in between my lips and do it. You can do it with any sufficiently thin item like plastic wrap or such.
