Such nostalgia. My parents had this clock from when I was 3 until I was 18. I literally feel like a kid in the summer after playing outside sitting at the dinner table at the 7 & 8 PM one.
I have that kind of Singing Bird Clock with a similar layout on it’s Rim Type & the back, where you put the Batteries in, push the Set Test Button, & the Speaker for the Bird Sounds. It does the same exact Bird Sound Pattern, but it’s slightly lower-pitched. I really like the pitching on yours & it’d be nice for me to find like an exact one by it’s layout & see if it’ll do that Bird Sound Pattern in that exact pitch.
The speed/pitch of the sound is determined by a resistor on the circuit board, and changing that resistor value changes the pitch. It has been a few years since I opened up that clock so I don't remember the resistor value, but I do recall that it was a run-of-the-mill 10% tolerance resistor. So even if our clocks have the same exact circuitry, if the resistor values vary enough, the pitch of the samples will be noticeable. I don't recommend this but if you were a DIY-er with a soldering iron and a trimmer potentiometer, you could dial in the sound precisely. Though the modification would probably make the clock less valuable in the long run.
@@RaccoonEatingCacti Can I ask if you remember the back side layout of that Bird Clock that you no longer have there? 🤔 Was the Set Test Button Red by any chance or was it black? 🤔

I would love to live in a household that tells time according to bird calls. "It's House Wren o'clock - time for supper!"
Me too

Do you happen to know when this model came out?
I do not. I no longer have the clock or I would check... Best of luck with your search

@@videolover2014 I am pretty certain the button was red. Never thought to flip it over for the video. Thanks for stopping by
@@RaccoonEatingCacti fun fact: did you know there was different versions of that clock! I have the lower pitched version in a similar sound pattern!
@@alextrebekandelvispresleys5390 Really cool! Thanks for telling me that
