The origin of pigeon whistle commonly known in Taiwan started from 1662 and 1683, where the soldiers would install bamboo whistles on military homing pigeons as entertainment during leisure time, in regions known as Sinying and Yanshei Districts today, so the whistling resounded across the sky as the pigeons flew. As more people started to play, the humanity to show off and compete also appeared. It was considered an honor to have one’s pigeon carrying bigger bamboo whistles than others, which meant that the pigeon one raised was stronger. The result of competition lead to bigger bamboo whistles carried by pigeons, which finally evolved to pigeon whistle carrying competition.
