Cuckoo not 'popping out' of door?

Giving my cuckoo clock a light dust I seem to have dislodged something. The clock is ticking and keeping to time but the cuckoo is not 'popping out' of his door and the chain is not moving. Any idea what I have done?

Your cuckoo is more than likely to be dead. When was the last time you fed it?

in dusting the clock you may have caught the door lock wire, this is a small piece of bent wire located externally just above the cuckoo door just rotate the piece of wire till it clears the door edge.


post if it fixes problem
