if you be a bird lover -lrb- and even if you be not , but just want a bit of `` back to nature '' in you urban world -rrb- , this alarm clock be for you ! it be easy to set , easy to read and yes , easy to snooze if need be . I have it right next to my pillow , volume set on the lower side and it be a soft , melodic way to greet the day . I be a light sleeper , so I do not often hear it go past the first or second bird sound . but if you need a bigger nudge , the persistent rooster at the end do the trick . it be annoying , actually , but be not that the point ? another good point - you can get other bird sound card if you get bore with the one it come with . it be also a unique gift for those who seem to have everything - except this clock ! lightweight , battery easy to change , do not take a genius or a screwdriver to get it go . highly recommend !
