Wolf Whistle. No, Make That A Parrot Whistle

Never Ruffle A Referee’s Feathers

Building Sight

A college in the UK has banned its female students from wolf-whistling at builders. Girls at West Kent College have been advised that whistling constitutes harassment and is unacceptable. Officials sent an email to all pupils warning that the behaviour was "totally unacceptable", and saying any students caught harassing contractors would face disciplinary action.
