For kids it's enough; I liked the previous version more, which unfortunately already broke.
It's almost like the previous 20‑year‑old one, flaps its wings, and also moves its body
- the sound sensor is less sensitive, it records a sample worse- the previous one slightly modulated the recording, which kids liked more; now it's just a plain short recording that repeats twice
The tower was very easy to assemble; I finished in about 3 hours. The parts are laser-cut into wooden sheets, so popping them out is no problem, and the included sandpaper helps clean off burrs. With the included manual, assembling and wiring the LED lighting is a breeze. I have the tower on the living room wall and it nicely lights the space.
The door works great; unlike light-sensor models where hens may still be outside, I can set the time myself. And for opening too, when predators have already gone to look for breakfast elsewhere. I’ll buy another door for the second coop. VašekB
