World Migratory Bird Day Virtual Choir

The Bowerbird Collective and the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership are thrilled to present the very first World Migratory Bird Day Virtual Choir. Celebrating the 2021 theme of the World Migration Bird Day, “Sing, Fly, Soar - Like a Bird!”, participants from twenty countries have joined forces to give their voices for migratory birds.

The work sung by the choir in this video was composed by Simone Slattery, an Australian violinist and creator of environmentally themed performances, including the award-winning ‘Where Song Began’. There are no lyrics, enabling people from all over the world to participate. Learn more about the Bowerbird Collective at www.bowerbird.productions

The video features footage of migratory birds from across the Flyway, including Roebuck Bay, Australia, the Copper River Delta, Alaska and the shores of Southeast Asia.
