Prompt: Onomatopoeia

David cupped his hands around his mouth “Chirp chirp!”

Young Mazu facepalmed with both hands, shaking her head. “No no no, NO!” Her voice picked up in exasperation. “That was the worst bird call, ever! In the history of really bad bird calls...”

She cut off at the hurt look in her friend's face and sighed.

“Look, cup your hands together, like ya gonna warm them up and whistle through your thumbs,” Mazu demonstrated, creating quite a realistic pigeon call.

David watched carefully, but his attempt was even worse than his first attempt had been.

"You need a different signal."
