Mark Feldstein Audubon Singing Bird Clock, 8 in, Green

Well, the bird songs are great. My parents bought me my first one and I have been hooked ever since, maybe 10 years. The birds sound authentic and chirp on the hour except when the room is dark. The clock keeps great time too. The instructions are clear and the clock is easy to set up so that “even a Caveman could do it”. The wood frame adds some elegance to the clock. I see myself having one of these singing bird clocks forever. (We have birds in our yard too and when they hear the birds from the clock chirp, one or two birds will fly to our patio table and chirp back. It is a cute sight). I lost the bird singing feature in my first click when the light sensor went bad. The clock continues to work but the birds no longer chirp which is a disappointing consolation. My parents had given me the first one and It had lasted about 8 years before the light sensor failed. This was the last gift from my Mom before she died and I wanted a fully working and bird chirping clock as a keepsake forever. So, I bought another one of the same 13” diameter size but with a plastic case (cheaper cost) and replaced the internal clock of it into the wood case of the one my Mom gave me. This 2nd one lasted only about 2 years until birds quit chirping after another light sensor failure. The Test Button works but the sensor doesn't so the birds don’t chirp on the hour anymore. So, this is the reason for this 2nd purchase of another clock to replace in the wood frame (case) in the one my Mom gave me originally. I am really hoping I do not have to buy another one for the 3rd time for at least 5-6 years. My only issues with this clock is with the light sensor. I would prefer it not be on the clock or at least have the ability to turn it off. I could care less with the birds chirping all night; it want wakes us. If or when the light sensor goes bad, the chirping birds will cease to chirp and you are reduced to the likes of an expensive standard clock. Without the birds chirping, the clock is not worth $39 or $49. The birds chirping is the entire reason for the clock, therefore this feature needs to endure. The “light sensor” is problematic and has unacceptable consequences on the bird chirping feature when the sensor goes bad. The light sensor is too big of a risk to have on the clock. It would be better if it could be turned off or removed. (Just know, until the manufacturer fixes this light sensor issue, the clock bird singing feature may be short lived. If important to you, you might consider an extended warranty, if available or just plan on replacing the clock in 2-3 years). Lastly, when Amazon shipped this clock they replaced the manufacturer’s box with their box which eliminated the “bird habitat information” that is contained on the manufacturer’s box. If Amazon wanted to use their box, they should have put the manufacturer’s box INSIDE the Amazon box and not replaced it. Luckily, I still had the manufacturer’s box from a prior purchase. In spite of this packing snafu and the short duration of the bird chirping feature, I still rate the clock 5 stars and will continue to purchase them as there are no others of better quality in the marketplace and the “bird chirping” feature on the hour is a special and enjoyable feature in a clock to have. A+

Such a cute clock. Our uncle has one in his kitchen for the last 30 years and it finally broke so we bought him a new one and got us one too. The bird sounds are loud enough to be pleasant but not obnoxious. Although at first it did drive the cats crazy thinking there was a bird inside. They got used to it. It is nicer then I thought it would be knowing each hour that passes. I understand why grandfather clocks were so popular.

Beautiful with good sound

I like it and I like the bird sounds. The only problem is I don't know what the birds sound like to begin with, so I'm not sure I have the right hands on the right birds at the right time. The instructions were hard to follow and so I don't really know if the meadowlark sound matches the meadowlark photo.

it is a very nice clock to order for the family time clock a little lesson in bird sounds are fulfilling in a relaxing way of the indoors very professionally built to last bird sound are very serene and easy listening too,very relaxing sounds.

My adult daughter remembered this clock from her childhood and wanted it for her birthday. It’s precious! Perfect gift

A fun clock with clear bird songs at each hour. Instructions are clear and thorough and not too techy. Light sensor silences the bird songs at night. The songs are so realistic, I find myself looking around for the bird a few seconds. The dog did that at first, but she seems to learn faster than I do.

The 25th anniversary clocks have the exact same problem; thus, I am repeating the same review for this clock as I wrote for the 25th anniversary one; they both possess the same serious manufacturing defect. My wife has had several MFA clocks and has gifted several also. Some have lasted for 10-15 years or longer. We had high hopes for this clock but have discovered one fatal flaw, namely, that at some point, the clock stops making the sound of the bird when it reaches the top of the hour. If you press the button, you hear a bird sound, but at the top of the hour, you hear nothing at all. We have had two of these 25th anniversary clocks, and both have demonstrated the same issue. It was difficult to reach a human being, but when we finally did, she instructed us to remove the batteries, set the clock to 11:50, insert the batteries, and wait. Unfortunately, nothing happened. The other problem is that the warranty ends so soon that you have no recourse. It pains me to have to write this because we love these clocks, but the new ones with the cherry finishes have had these issues. It's not the finish, obviously; it's the mechanism that has gone bad in multiple clocks.

El reloj está bien en cuanto a sonidos, aunque el tamaño es bastante pequeño, no más de 1 cuarta 🤙. Me parece demasiado caro para su tamaño.

Top gun very nice

Orologio perfetto nell'orario e sensore sensibile a luce giorno e lampadina. Cinguettii graziosi.

I bought this to replace one bought a few years ago. We dropped the old one from a significant height and it smashed to pieces. It actually lasted many years I was so pleased to be able to find this clock again. This is a beautiful clock and we loved the sounds of the different birds.

Great gift for a friend.
