the clock I receive be defective - the hour hand be off by 25 minute -lrb- e.g. , the hour hand be almost half way between 1 & 2 when the minute hand be on 12 -rrb- .  the sound be only similar to the bird song that I can hear out my back door - not close enough to reality . I think we want reality so we can recognize the bird song we hear in nature .  a wonderful idea , but not carry out very well . by the way - the clock be make in China .
