Chirp to arms: musicians record album to help conserve endangered birds

Ten-track record samples recordings of endangered, vulnerable or near threatened birds by artists from same country

The song of the black catbird - with its flute-like chirps and screeching single-note squalls - was once heard across Guatemala, Belize and southern Mexico until large-scale farms began to destroy its habitat.

Now, thanks to a collective of musicians, producers and DJs, the tiny bird's song - and that of nine other endangered species from the region - could be heard on dancefloors around the world, with proceeds going to conserving the endangered birds.
