The Zwitscherbox

This is the motion-activated audio player that serenades bird lovers with a natural melody of tweets and chirps. Developed in Germany and inspired by birds native to the Black Forest, it plays a two-minute chorus of bird songs when activity is recognized within four feet of the motion sensor. Reminiscent of a traditional peaked-roof birdhouse, the front plate is made from cherry-a feature only available from Hammacher Schlemmer-and the box can be set on a tabletop or shelf or wall mounted in a powder room, home library, or hallway. Three included AA batteries power the chirping choir, and a power/volume knob allows orniphiles to adjust the audio level. Motion sensor disables in the dark to provide a quiet and sleep-friendly atmosphere. 5 3/4" H x 4 1/4" W x 1 1/4" D. (8 oz.)
