They are the successful result of a mad scientist's experiment, and can remain airborne even when launching their feathers as razor sharp projectiles. The clockwork cuckoo's Japanese name {{translation|''Gachakokko''|ガチャコッコ}} is a combination of the word ''[[Wiktionary:gachapon|gachapon]]'', an onomatopoeia from the sound of a vending machine that dispenses collectible toys in a plastic capsule and ''[[Wiktionary:コケコッコー|kokekokkō]]'', the sound a rooster makes.
