       Twenty-five years ago today, on Monday, December 28, 1998, my sister Karolann gave me a bird clock. This is an analog wall clock that plays bird songs every hour. It's been sitting on my wall for the last twenty-five years, and is, to my knowledge, the oldest Christmas present I'm still actively using. Although it still works, I can tell its days are numbered. In particular, time has not been kind to the button you use to adjust what bird song plays, as it's really hard to make it actually work.Several years ago I recorded all twelve bird songs using an electromagnetic pickup coil, which for those who don't know, lets you record audio almost as good as if the device had an audio output jack. I've never been able to find another clock with the same bird sounds on it. So have this recording for your enjoyment.Bird songs: Great Horned Owl at 12:00, Northern Mockingbird, Black-Capped Chickadee, Northern Cardinal, Downy Woodpecker, Canada Goose, House Wren, American Robin, Song Sparrow, Belted Kingfisher, Tufted Titmouse & Baltimore Oriole.

       @jaybird110127 That's awesome! I have one of those too. Interestingly, the birds on your clock are much lower pitch than the birds on mine. Thanks for sharing. ☺️

       @storm I've heard them that are higher pitch. Do you have a magnetic pickup coil by any chance? I'd love to find someone who has one of the higher pitched clocks that can coil theirs.

       @jaybird110127 Unfortunately I do not. I think I do have recordings of the birds somewhere though, just with a standard mic, nothing fancy.

       @jaybird110127 I found the recording of my bird clock. It is nowhere near as high quality, but should give you some idea of the pitch difference. https://wormhole.app/0d2kP#Oj3xZ1e-FEYuRGJmQ1ek6w
