In place of the cuckoo out pops one of a range of farmyard and jungle themed characters each with their own individual name and sound. For example, the cow version features Hannah Holstein in the MooCoo clock. Coo clocks are sure to create smiles. To ensure that the smiles last all night a light sensor automatically shuts off the characters when the room becomes dark. For those who like an encore, they also perform on command by pressing a button on the side of the clock.
