Birds on Stamps
Pigeon Post?
Many stamp collectors have thematic collections, some birders collect stamps; there are, therefore, a number of websites devoted to Bird Stamps.
Not all of the sites below are exclusively about bird stamps… some are commercial sites selling stamps, but all have something on them for Bird stamp Collectors.
In my judgement, birds are probably the most ubiquitous motif on stamps worldwide.
I guess, if you are going to be a complete anorak, you should combine two really sad hobbies such as birding and stamp collecting. There is actually a Bird Stamp Society. Membership of the Society is open to anyone worldwide who is interested in collecting bird stamps and bird-related postal history and philatelic material.
The Fatbirder admits to still having a bird thematic stamp collection that was accumulated in his youth – If I could only remember where I stored it?
