"BirdBox turns iPhone into nesting-box cuckoo alarm clock."
I have read this several times and watched the video and still cannot understand what on earth this is all about. Does the phone light up / make noises from inside the box at the time you set or do you have to touch it first? Or, does it start making noises and you roll over and touch the screen because you are so desperate to find out what the little cuties are up to? If the noises come from inside the box, what happens if the birds are all asleep - presumably you aren't going to work that day?
