Cuckoo Clock / noun :

First Page Mentioned (By Name) : ch. “The Aviary” – pg. 37

Cuckoo Clocks are intricately designed time keeping devices, often appearing as bird nests or houses, with a very strong woodsy feel. Inside the mechanical marvels rests a fake bird and a sound box. Every hour the bird pops out of its resting spot and cuckoos a number of times equal to the hour. This is usually accompanied by a chime of some sort. Many households on Geb have a cuckoo clock, many of which are considered family heirlooms. Few cuckoo clocks on Geb are magical in nature, this is out of pure fascination for the complexity of simple mechanics, a reminder to many that magic isn't everything.
