Testing our equipment prior to programming the SoundPods full of birds and bees , both captured locally in forests as well as some being mimicked by ourselves.
The workings
The inner electronics - Sound card from fancy greeting card loaded with bird sounds, ready to be repodded.
The All seeing Eye
The eye socket where the pod watches through an infrared sensor.
The Copper Accoutrements
Initially these were created as leaves.
One person mentioned their feather like quality and another that he liked the wings.
So take them as you will.
I fell in love with copper making these soundpod accessories and have worked it into several other pieces since. including my collage and under resin it makes me want to lick it.

Two sets of pods
Each eye covers a slightly different range so your movements will be the direct link to them being triggered, a multitude of potential variations.
