Erhu sounds

[karl]

What kinds of sounds can an erhu make? I'm talking about chirping birds and unexpected animal sounds like that? I can only do high squeeks but they don't sound anything like any bird I have heard. Is this really possible with the erhu and is this difficult to do?

Bird sounds? Hmm, I haven't heard that. I was trying to get mine to "say" 'Ni hao' the other day, got kinda close, but not that great. Though I did scare the neighbors when it sounded like a little girl screaming. ;D
