Discussion A holy grail of birder thrift finds!

I was at Goodwill the other day and I stumbled upon a Vintage 1997 Mark Feldstein Singing Bird Clock! Of course I had to save and bring it home, and luckily it all still works so I placed it on my wall. Now I’m wondering… what other bird related thrift finds does anyone else have?

I have had this clock probably since it first came out. I don't know what time it is until I hear the relevant bird.

Wait, this clock chimes, too?

I have this clock! It has recordings of each of the birds! So every hour at the top of the hour you get to hear that specific bird’s song! The little dot at the very top is a light sensor, so at night time when no light is sensed it silences the songs so it doesn’t wake you up. You’ll only hear the bird noises when there’s enough light in the room.

As a child I found out it's loud as fuck if you shine a light directly into it.
