Aerial Scout’s Whistle

When you blow this whistle, you summon a swarm of birds correspondent to the type of bird this whistle is made for. For up to 12 hours, these birds will scout terrain, warn you of enemies, and keep watch while you sleep. They do not engage in combat on your behalf and flee if attacked or threatened. After the duration, the whistle cannot summon another swarm until after you have left a loaf of bread, bits of dried meat, or similar food next to the whistle during a short rest.

In addition, while this whistle is on your person, you can communicate with birds of the same type as the whistle.
