That could also be the other way around: bird's language is a legendary thing. And as whistling has poorer range of distinguished sounds, it may represent some basic set of phonemes (c g k q) as all one letter, and so on.
Do you know that language or can recommend a good source to know it? Do they have some mnemonic whistles? To whistle somebody is to call somebody in my language (and it's also "to steal" as if the thief has called that thing to go with him)
Whistle is also transmitted far, so I think it's only preserved in few places, but it could be some universal substrate.
