List of birds on stamps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birds on stamps is a common theme in philately and a popular subject for topical stamp collectors.
Birds started appearing on stamps by 1875, when Japan issued a series of stamps bearing stylized illustrations of three species.[1] The first United States bird stamp was a registry stamp issued in 1911,[2] depicting an eagle with wings outspread.[3] The UK issued its first in honor of "Nature Week" in 1963.[1] As of 2003, over 10,000 bird stamps had been issued around the world.[4]
