Birdsongs are sung with gourd rattles.  We call them "Halmas."  Here are some pictures of ones that I own.

This one I bought from Jose Robles.  He is a famous singer and is know for making quality halmas.

 

I don't know where this one came from.  I think I got it at a halma exchange.  It doesn't have holes.

 

This is a very old halma with an almost perfect shape.  The handle looks like part of a chair.  This was given to me by the late Rosalie Robinson upon my graduation from college.

 

I made this one and I use it all the time.  It is not too loud so if I make a mistake no one will notice.

 

 

This is another one that I bought from Jose Robles.  It also has an almost perfect shape.

First hollow out the gourd and then fill it with 100 to 200 palm seeds.  The handle is willow because it is light and good for playing all night without getting tired.  The paint is applied in any style.  The first one you make you are suppose to give it away.
