Bird Song Clock
We have a clock on the wall in our garden room that marks the hours by chirping a different bird song for each hour. Outside are a number of bird feeders with lots of birds. Each hour when the clock chirps the birds outside respond.
I have the same clock except with a light wood. I love it!
I really like the light sensor which varies the level of the bird sounds being played. So when the lights are off in the kitchen, the sounds are not as loud.
Since this was a gift I don't know where this specific clock came from. If you Google "singing bird clock" you will see a number of different versions of bird clocks. Maybe one of them has western birds.
I did find one thing you might be interested in looking at. it is here: http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp?pn=3053198&bhcd2=1231519633

Ah but, do the garden birds correspond with those on the clock?

I bought it when I was on the east coast. So mine has all the same birds as yours. Now I'm on the west coast, but I can't find a similiar clock with the west coast birds like the Stellar's Jays (one of my favorites), Chestnut-backed Chickadees (my wife took a great picture of one drying its wings), Varied Thrushes, and so on.
If anyone finds one, let me know.
