He made a clock which struck on the hour - not exactly a cuckoo clock. Furthermore, clocks in which mechanical birds announced the hour had been invented about two thousand years previously so Banneker can hardly have been said to have invented one!
Benjamin Banneker did not invent the cuckoo clock; this invention is typically attributed to German clockmakers in the 18th century. Banneker was known for his work as a mathematician, astronomer, and inventor, particularly in the field of clocks, where he created a striking wooden clock that kept accurate time. His innovations were largely inspired by his interest in nature and the mechanics of timekeeping, but there is no direct connection between him and the cuckoo clock specifically.
