Birds of Wales is an indie folk rock band based in Ontario.

Birds of Wales have toured Europe five times with everyone from Xavier Rudd to Dragonette to The Sadies, had their video for "Cinderella" on full rotation on MuchMoreMusic, received extensive radio play across North America and the UK. Birds of Wales are headquartered out of Toronto, Canada, and inevitably spend most of their time on the road.

Tracks from Birds of Wales' first CD received significant airplay on Canadian commercial & college radio, and have been broadcast across North America on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio. Bow song, My Lady; in July was the most played song on "The Verge," XM's new music station, in June 2006. Birds of Wales has also earned the attention of fans in Europe, releasing their Fall of the 49 CD in the UK and Spain on Invisible Hands Music (Thomas Dolby, The JAM) following five successful European tours in 16 months time.
