No...*sigh* I was born with a broken whistler, but I can roll my rrrrs and purr
There is a Guatemalan Indian dialect I heard once that sounded very much like bird calls. Not quite the same, I know, but. Their dialect wasn't so loud it couldn't be used for romance.

Now there's a man who *really whistles while he works!
There was a code-language developed by the Amerindian tribes
consisting of assorted bird and animal calls that let them communicate over distances, most especially in times of inter-tribal warfare, or during their fight for survival against the US Army. Wonder what that is called? Or if it has any kind of official bearing in a lingual context at all. And wonder, also, if the Amerindians in the Central and Southern part of the continent also used a similar language during the days of the Conquistidors, etc.

"What homework do you have tonight?"
"Math, socials and I have a whistling test tomorrow."

Good grief--if denizens of another planet ever do come and visit--or if we go find another inhabited world--how will we EVER understand what they're communicating??
