Birds Perched, Birds Flying, Birds Aground

and on the first day cover with a wonderful cachet from Audubon.

Arrived in the mail Friday...

This is one of my stamps, it shows a parrot named Green Rosella.
It is from Australia.
Steve is one of my fathers friends.
He lives in Australia.
He sent it to me.
Thank you Steve

That's a beautiful stamp, Malak. Maybe one of Australian members can tell us what the plant is that they are perched on? They look as if they are having a feast of berries or something!

Thank you stampgal

A member has to have 50 posts and 14 days to be able to use the forum email system as well as buy, trade or sell. Perhaps her father could contact you (not sure how many posts he has) (egcollector).

This is The American Kestrel.
It eats sparrows and that is why it is also called the Sparrow Hawk.
It lives in United states of America.
Hope you like the stamps

Malak, a very nice stamp, and I learned something too! Thankyou!

Today is John James Audubon's birthday.
Some GB bird stamps

Birds on wallpaper



Darwin's finch



A puffin commemorating the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds)

This is a Red-Necked Avocet.
It lives in Australia.
I hope you like the stamp.

Thank you stampgal.
I like the stamp with birds on wallpaper.

Let's not forget these high value US Express Mail stamps with magnificent eagles. It's such a pity these stamps are so expensive and therefore confined primarily to parcels and don't see much use, as they are especially attractive:

Hi feathered friends, my name is Alex and this is my first post (I joined a couple of hours ago and have been enjoying looking through a very extensive and interesting site.) I started collecting Bird stamps because I really like Kingfishers, but often you have to buy the whole set to get the Kingfisher...so why not collect all birds?
I guess I have a few hundred bird stamps now, and I will be posting some selected images in the near future. My question here relates to ideas for a "Birds album"...has anyone started one?

I have made a start, just a few pages, and would appreciate your comments and suggestions and also. maybe, pinch some ideas from your album(s):

Here are a few of the Kingfishers I have, mostly from Australia:

How wonderful! I can see looking at your pages you are a specialist. Even show the Latin names. There is a collector at the stampclub that do the same with plants. Nice pages you do. I have birds on stamps in my country collections but I don't have a bird collection. Daniel
