A pushbutton switch activates a relay which powers up a programmed Picaxe 08M microcontroller that sends power to keep the relay on when pushbutton is released (each branch of relay coil with diodes). The Picaxe command 'sound' is used to digitally simulate the song of a Chickadee bird with a peizo speaker. The idea for this object was inspired by a DJ Coldcut song. The music track was generously provided by pressing some buttons on a Yamaha dx200.
