[Teracotage]

In Syria, whistling has been essential to those hobbyists who raise birds, to communicate and command them "“Hemeimati (Pigeon fancier)” If you have ever visited Damascus and its countryside, Homs, Aleppo or any other Syrian city, you should have noticed swarms of pigeons hovering over the city, swaying right and left, up and down responding to the signs of a person standing on a roof.

This person would be carrying a long stick in his hand with a black or white piece of cloth on its tip, waving it, as if telling the flying swarm to fly higher or fly down towards him, often with a “whistle” https://english.enabbaladi.net/archives/2016/08/mysterious-w...

It doesn't show them doing what you mentioned, but they all go into their coop on command

the fish in my great grandmother's coy pond were trained to come when you clapped. It was considered rude to call them and not give them any food.
