its actually fairly easy to coo like a pigeon, effectively and realistically
ok first
1. learn to gurgle without water
odd as this sounds, this is the muscle that one uses to make the coo-ing sound. you know that little bit that dangles at the back of your throat (Uvula). yeah we're gonna be using that.

*Trivia point: you know some people can roll their 'r's by using the tip of their tongue? Well i cant, but i thought i could. Turns out i was actually using my uvula, which explains why it didn't always work 'right'. Though we don't use it in english pronunciation, the uvula rolling 'r' is actually a phoneme (sound) that is recognised on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)*
- And also while looking for this diagram, i came across several pictures of people who had pierced their uvula. idiots -
back to the tutorial
2. say 'koo'
its fairly easy this step, no fancy diagrams
and finally
3. say 'koo' and gurgle at the same time
this sounds really weird at first, and probably more like a sick pigeon than anything else, but with some practice it'll work.
4. once you've started to get the hang on it you can then just drop the 'k' and make an 'oo' sound, as it sounds more like a pigeon.
but thats the general gist of it
Have Fun Coo-ing :)
