Updates in progress, please bear with us. We are in the process of registering Planet Birdsong Foundation as a new UK charity. Please follow us on twitter @birdsongplanet  
Planet Birdsong is a UK based charitable initiative devoted to engaging the greatest possible number of citizens with bird songs and calls, which we regard as an international language that transcends geographical and species boundaries. Our initiative is multi-disciplinary, involving scientists, conservationists, musicians, educators and IT professionals.  Birdsong gives nearly everyone pleasure and connects us subconsciously to nature. We aim to capitalise on this by opening ears and minds to these sounds that colour our lives, and inform a sustainable future through the art, science and technology that mediate our engagement. 
Planet Birdsong envisages a contribution to protecting world biodiversity, habitats and the human condition. The status of bird life is a known marker for the quality of the environmental capital available to people. The project uses sound to increase knowledge and appreciation of bird life for purposes of avifauna and other fauna biodiversity conservation. ​
Planet Birdsong believes that increasing awareness of the common ground between birdsong and human music, and encouraging creative responses to this connection can enhance our understanding of and relationship with the environment.
Planet Birdsong is a partnership with citizens, who take the lead and carry forward the knowledge and experience gained into their own activities at a scientific, technical or community level.

“Planet Birdsong fits beautifully into the entire BirdLife area of work that encompasses birds, culture and society, embracing every aspect from the simple delight that people have in birds and their songs, through to challenging the increasing disconnect from nature that children (and adults) face in an urbanising world.”
John Fanshawe, Head of Development, Birdlife International
“What a wonderful way of introducing children - and adults - to one of the magical wonders of our planet. I will certainly want to encourage my Middle East conservation colleagues to use it, especially in Iraq, Kuwait and Yemen.”
Richard Porter, Environmental Co-ordinator, Nature Iraq, Birdlife International
