after cataloguing a few local vegetables and fruits, you've decided to take a break, and maybe find a hot drink to savor. And what's better than a hot drink poured from a cute bird shaped kettle?

Wanted to try designing some kettles/pots for my setting and got fixed on the idea of these "whistle birds" (maybe named after the sound they make when the water inside is boiling?).

Obviously with varying degrees of artistry, from wealthier styles to more down to earth working class vessels. Even some big carafes or jugs :3

The more finely designed whistlebirds might have shapes or mechanisms that sound like birdsong when pouring out their contents (like those whistles that exist irl).

In the United Kingdom, a phenomenon known as "TV pickup" occurs when large numbers of viewers simultaneously switch on electric kettles during television program breaks, causing significant surges in national power demand.
