a little birdy told me ...

i'm not sure why i don't already own a cuckoo clock like this one, because as soon as i saw it i had a pretty immediate need to have one. i think it stems from how prominent they always were in old cartoons ... i'm not off-base, am i? i feel like they were featured in all those tom and jerry style saturday morning cartoons. so this one from stacks and stacks is only $175, which seems to be pretty low considering other models are upwards of a grand, and the care indicates "the clock cuckoo's once on the half hour and counts the hour on the top of the hour. the german all brass weight driven movement should be wound once a day by raising the two pinecone weights." so i guess being required to wind it is a downside, but if all you need to do is say, remember to raise the pinecones when you leave for work in the morning, i think it'd be okay.
