‘Whistling of Birds’ is very
touching essay which moves our imagination. The writer has presented a contrast
between spring season and winter season in it. The allegory of seasons has been
described so masterfully that it keeps on gripping our attention throughout the
essay.
Life is a continuous process; seasons also move in
a cycle and follow each other. Winter is the symbol of death while spring is
the symbol of life. When winter season comes, everything begins to die out.
Leaves of trees begin to wither. There is frost everywhere. Birds die out and
their remains in the bushes and ground cast the shadows of death. Death seems
to hover all about but this lasts for only sometime then the change comes. It
is the arrival of spring season which is the symbol of life. Things beaten by
winter start to recover and restore their life. 
Birds forget the remains of dead and whistle to welcome the spring and new life. The branches of trees give birth to new leaves and greenery starts to rule. Frost melts away and gives way to rays of life. "Whistling of Birds" by David Herbert Lawrence is a depiction of the vividness of his writings and his own artistic vision and thought. In this essay he has elucidated the change of seasons- change from winter to spring- in an impressive way by the use of images, similes and metaphors.

Winter, as he narrates, brings woe and causes wreck. The intense frost
that sustained for several weeks caused the death of birds. The remnants of the
beautiful bevy of birds - lapwings, starlets, thrushes, lied scattered in the
fields. The "invisible beasts of prey" had wolfed the birds. The
winter had massacred the song birds and their blood-soaked skins were spread
all around. They being that could not shield themselves against its.
