Another way to set the bird clock,or at least mine from China
is as follows: with the batteries in place and the clock set to the
correct time depress and release the small red button on the back of the
clock.This by passes the hourly play cycle and plays the next song in
the sequence. Keep playing the songs this way until you reach the one set
to go on the next hour.Cheers, Bird brain
