Bring Aotearoa’s Most Loved Bird Calls Into Your Australian Home — Every Hour
If you’re a Kiwi living in Australia, you know this feeling well: you step outside… the sky is bright, the weather is warm… but something is missing.
That soft tui flute. That clear bellbird chime. That gentle ruru calling at dusk. It’s not just a sound. It’s your childhood, your roots, your identity. It’s home.
Now you can bring those sounds back — not from an app or a machine — but from real recordings of New Zealand’s native birds, played gently every hour in your home.
Why This Clock Feels So Real (And Easy to Live With)
Most bird clocks use generic birds, cheap digital chips and harsh, loud audio. This clock is different.
It uses authentic field-recorded voices of New Zealand’s rare, beloved native birds, captured in the wild. That’s why it triggers instant nostalgia.
The bird calls are designed to be soft and gentle – more like a background nature sound than a loud speaker. You’ll notice them when you’re in the room, but they won’t blast through the whole house or startle anyone.
Think of it like a little nature chime each hour: clear enough to recognise, but subtle enough to live with every day.
The 12 Native Bird Calls (One Every Hour)
Each hour plays a real recorded call from one of Aotearoa’s iconic native birds:
- 6:00 – Fantail — Playful, cheerful chirps.
- 7:00 – Stitchbird (Hihi) — Soft, musical whistles.
- 8:00 – Yellowhead (Mohua) — Bright, high-pitched calls.
- 9:00 – Grey Warbler — Delicate, fast trill every Kiwi recognises.
- 10:00 – Kākāpō — Deep, soothing boom from NZ’s famous nocturnal parrot.
- 11:00 – New Zealand Robin — Friendly, clear chirping voice.
- 12:00 – Tui — Rich, melodic, flute-like notes.
- 13:00 – Korimako (Bellbird) — Crystal-clear “bell” tones.
- 14:00 – Kiwi — The unmistakable nighttime screech of our national icon.
- 15:00 – Morepork (Ruru) — Calming “more-pork” hoot at dusk.
- 16:00 – Kea — Playful, intelligent alpine calls.
- 17:00 – Kākā — Strong, rolling forest calls.
These aren’t generic sound effects. They are memories in audio form.

Frequently Asked Questions
How loud and clear are the bird sounds?
The clock uses a small built-in sound module, not a big hi-fi speaker system, so the bird calls are soft and gentle rather than booming or ultra crisp. You’ll hear them clearly in a quiet room, but they won’t blast through walls or overpower the TV.
This makes it perfect for living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms where you want a subtle, natural background sound instead of something loud or harsh.
If you’re looking for very loud, studio-quality bird audio, this clock probably isn’t the right fit. It’s made to feel like a gentle, nostalgic nature sound each hour, not a hi-fi speaker.
Does it make sound all night?
No. The clock has a built-in night silence mode, so there are no bird sounds during the set night-time period (for example, roughly 9pm–6am). You can enjoy the birds by day and sleep peacefully at night.
Does it tick loudly?
The clock uses a silent sweep movement, which means no loud ticking that keeps you awake.
Where do you ship from?
All orders are shipped from South Australia with tracking. No long international delays.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. It’s one of the most meaningful gifts you can buy for anyone who loves NZ, birds, or nature — especially Kiwi parents and grandparents living in Australia.

Works really well
Product received in great condition. Speedy delivery. Great communication thru whole process. Love this product, reminds me of home
Pleased with the range and especially the volume :) On the wall at my desk in The Den where I 'chill out' (86 and retired) remembering the great times I had over 5 (FIVE) decades living, working in N.Z. and with my partner enjoying dozens of Tramping trips in the South Island especially. We were married on the Earnslaw in Queenstown and honeymooned for 10 days on the Reese Dart etc etc.
Thesounds are too quiet
Order & received drama free. Love hearing the native NZ bird songs again. Awesome idea, very happy to find this great clock
