Australian Bird Calls - Songs Of Disappearance - Deluxe Endangered Edition

2022 release

On this album of pure birdsong you can hear 53 of our most threatened species. The title track celebrates the incredible diversity of the Australian soundscape, and highlights what we stand to lose without taking action. Be immersed in a chorus of iconic cockatoos, the buzzing of bowerbirds, a bizarre symphony of seabirds, and the haunting call of one of the last remaining night parrots.

A collaboration between the acclaimed nature recordist David Stewart, Nature Sound, the Bowerbird Collective, BirdLife Australia, Charles Darwin University and Mervyn Street of Mangkaja Arts, this project, released alongside the 2020 Action Plan for Australian Birds, shows that Australians will not allow these precious avian voices to be silenced.

Due to extraordinary demand and international media attention, the producers of Songs of Disappearance are releasing a deluxe “Endangered Edition” of the CD, featuring a 24-page booklet full of images from some of Australia’s finest wildlife photographers.
