Cuckoo Sound Effects

Cuckoo sound effects from the woods and from the wall. The real bird calls across forests at dawn, while an antique clock pops out on the hour with its little bellows and clockwork. Toy bird whistles do a cartoon version too. Few sounds in nature are easier to recognise, which is exactly why it works as a gag or a time cue.

In the wild, a cuckoo is usually a distant call over a Dawn Chorus, never quite in the foreground, and that's how the forest recordings have it. The clock is the opposite, close and mechanical, with the whirr of the works before the call. Comedy uses it for someone going a bit mad.
