There’s now a free app (iTunes link) available for your iPhone which will allow you to wake up the same way Disney characters do, with the sounds of 2D chirping birds. For added illusion, you can stick your iPhone in this BirdBox and tap the screen in order to see your potential wake up call nesting inside. The BirdBox is made of high quality heavy card, is easy to assemble and is available in four different colors. The only problem is if you smash this alarm clock in the morning, you’ve killed a bird and ruined $100 phone. You don’t want to start your day that way.
