It goes on to describe how the mechanical cuckoo can automatically open it's beak though at the exact same time the cuckoo can move both the wings and also the tail. As the beak opens and closes one hears the call of the cuckoo. Inside the clock are two organ pipes which are responsible for creating the call of the cuckoo.
