A whistling bird was a type of weapon used by Mandalorians. They were small guided munitions placed in Mandalorian vambraces which, when deployed, flew through the air while making a whistling noise before striking the target and killing them with a small explosion.
Around 9 ABY, a Mandalorian known as "the Armorer" made whistling birds for the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin. He subsequently used whistling birds to kill four stormtroopers simultaneously during a mission to rescue Grogu on Nevarro. He later used several whistling birds during a scuffle with the Devaronian mercenary Burg, but failed to land a single projectile due to the close confines of the room. In 35 ABY, the bounty hunter Carib Diss wore a Mandalorian rocket gauntlet equipped with whistling birds while residing on Kijimi.
Whistling birds first appeared in Chapter 3 of Jon Favreau's 2019 Disney+ television series The Mandalorian, which aired on November 22, 2019.
