The peaceful cottage scene depicted on this richly-detailed clock captures the lush beauty of what nature has to offer, and takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. To add ambiance, at each hour, a Cardinal pops out from his roost chirping his distinctive, beautiful song. This unique "cuckoo" feature provides some sense of serenity in our busy, daily lives. This clock would be perfect in the kitchen, living room, den, or office. At nighttime, a light sensor deactivates bird song allowing our Cardinal friend (and you) to catch some sleep!
