Welcome to my collection. My topic is birds and I collect mostly covers but I will show you a variety of philatelic material that is part my collection.

The first stamp, issued in 2012 and showing the Southern shrikebill (Clytorhynchus pachycephaloides), has been shown before.

The second stamp, issued in 2012 too, features a silvereye (Zosterops lateralis). It is native to areas of southeastern Australia as well as New Zealand, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji. It has 17 subspecies. It is an omnivorous bird eating both small insects and spiders and fruit and nectar.

The final stamp, released in 2011, shows a pair of coconut lorikeets (Trichoglossus haematodus). It can be found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and New Caledonia. It has many subspecies and on this stamp the Trichoglossus haematodus massena is shown. It feeds on plant material and it is a favourite pet to many people.
