Should I Buy A Cuckoo Clock?
Are you in need of a quality clock to keep time in your home? Do you want a timepiece that marks each hour by a sound? Are you interested in a unique and historic piece that is sure to bring beauty and charm to your home? Do you want a fabulous conversation piece that is sure to catch the eye (and ears) of all who visit your home? If your answer was 'yes' to any of these questions, consider purchasing a cuckoo clock for your home. Cuckoo clocks are fantastically unique timepieces that include a small carved bird in the clock's bellows to chirp out the time instead of chime the hour. From the kitsch to the modern to the antique, any tastes and decorative style will benefit from a cuckoo clock.

Since cuckoo clocks are delicate in nature, you should only consider purchasing a cuckoo clock if you have the space to hang a clock securely from your wall. Since the chains and weights generally hang beneath the clock, you should ensure your prospective wall has enough room for the weights to swing freely. Cuckoo clocks are not mantle clocks and should only be hung from a wall, so if you do not have the proper space, you may need to reconsider your purchase.
Many travelers choose to purchase cuckoo clocks as a souvenir of their European adventure. Since cuckoo clocks were traditionally made in the famous Black Forest of Germany, and are continued to be produced using the traditional methods, a cuckoo clock is the perfect souvenir for travelers who want something unique and customary to mark their visit to Germany. However, before your purchase, ensure you will actually use your cuckoo clock once you return to your home. A cuckoo clock in a store full of cuckoos may seem appealing at the time, but you may find differently once you return home. These great clocks are perfect for the right owner, who will cherish and appreciate the unique creation.
The best thing about the cuckoo clock is the bird itself. The cuckoo, a small grey bird native to Europe, Africa, and Asia, is replicated in carved wood and placed in the bellows of the cuckoo clock. Once the clock's hand designates the hour, the bird pops out from his home and sounds the hour. Instead of more traditional clocks that chime the hour, such as mantle clocks equipped with Westminster Chimes, this tiny bird chirps out the hour and is a favorite with both the young and the young at heart. In addition to not being as loud as chimes, the cuckoo clock does not sound for the length of time of a traditional chime clock, so the disturbance is at a minimum.

I've inherited a wooden carved antique cuckoo clock manufactured by Hubert Herr from Germany.
It's been in the family for at least two decades (I've been told three, though), which means that it was either manufactured during the 1800's, or the early 1900's.
Is there a way to tell for sure?
I've also been told that the numbers on the weights can be indicative (the numbers say 1500).
Your feedback will be much appreciated!
Sorry for the typo. I meant three generations, not decades.
To saaanen: I'm well aware that the numbers on the weights refer to the weight. The weight itself can be indicative of the age, though.
Please send me some helpful info - sarcasm is overrated.

This is my favourite one because my Aunty Karmel bought it for my mother. It has two pine cones which are really heavy and it comes all the way from Germany, where is it made by Schneider (www.cuckooclocks-schneider.com If I'm really good in Tamar I may get to go to Germany where perhaps I can meet Jack who runs cuckoo clock tours. My mother's clock has a bird on it and a cuckoo in it. It also has pink edelwiess, which is like a song from the Sound of Music. While I am a boy I do like the colour pink. I do hope you enjoy my cuckoo clock and if you are from Ohio, is the world's largest cuckoo clock working (it used to be in Wilmott). Bye for now.

For people to be in tip-top mental health condition, there should be very little lingering feelings of shame, guilt and self-loathing, right? If you think sex is “sinful” and if you think ones body must remain untouched to be considered “sacred,” then it means that there is a pretty high likelihood for feelings of guilt, shame and self-loathing, right? Now, most religions do teach people that sexual pleasure outside marriage is “sinful” and they teach people that the body should remain a temple unspoiled and “sacred” until marriage. But not many people can wait until marriage these days so we have people with feelings of shame, guilt and self-loathing and it’s all because of religion, right? Religion has turned society into one big cuckoo clock, right?

Di nokta zareefa, ma3reftesh abattal de7k
The other night I was invited out for a night with “the girls.” I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, “I promise!”
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easy. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when totally smashed…3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos =MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him “Midnight”. He didn’t seem mad at all. Whew! Got away with that one!
Then he said, “We need a new cuckoo clock.”
When I asked her, “Why?” she said, “Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, “Oh Shit”, cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it’s throat, cuckooed another 3 times, burped, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.”

This is totally random but came up earlier today. There is a movie in which a male actor covers his face with his hands and then opens them like the doors of a cuckoo clock and makes the noise and acts like the person he's talking to/about is crazy. My boss and I earlier were trying out hardest to remember who it was or what movie it was from. For some reason im really wanting to say Ben Stiller, and he also said he thought it may be Owen Wilson or Adam Sandler...but we couldnt narrow it down....if anyone knows what im talking about thanks!
Jack Black! thats it, thanks so much! i've been trying to think of it all day

I recently inherited an old Cuckoo clock, and it's one of the really old ones, that uses weights and the pendulum to run.
Unfortunately, in transport, the weight on the pendulum was moved further down, thus knocking out the time. And I'm not sure as to how fast it should swing, my efforts so far have proved fruitless with it either running too slow or too fast.
I thought it was to "click" twice a second.
Ie, one "tick-tock" every second, but that didn't work, it could just be that I didn't adjust it accurately enough though.
