bird whistle

See the websites - and you will probably recognize this bird which, I'm sorry to say, does not belong to our fauna

chirpy tail bird / birdwhistle toy

Chirpy tail bird
whistling bird or birdwhistle toy

I've searched too some years ago - with no real success, so I'll be watching this space for a better answer than mine!

I called it a toy with a chirp in the tail, I think.

Unfortunately the delightfully naughty nuance gets completely lost in translation...
