New Stamps issued in 2024

These were issued back in February but I just recently learned about them:
Ground Parrots stamps from Australia


I had never heard of Ground Parrots previously because here in the states, we only have parrots that fly, but after doing some research I learned that these parrots that hang out on the ground are native to Australia and New Zealand, and also endangered. Very interesting

Actually, this is an FDC, First Day Cover, not maxi card. I wish we had some official maxi cards… But the stamp is nice :grinning:

Why are those chemical symbols on the back part of the fish? :thinking: Is it especially good at removing these elements from the water?

I think, this are the elements which you are eating, if you are eating fish!

These are probably the heavy metals / metallic pollutants that fishes absorb from the water and bring into the food chain.

I think so too, it must be a warning of how much we’ve polluted the seas and effectively what we’re consuming while eating fish

Yes, these are the bad metallic pollutants lead, cadmium and mercury, but also zinc and iron, which our body needs.

together with the Aland stamp one of my most favourites. Love how it tries to arise awaress of water polution but still in a very subtle way.

@seba_flores, love the Picasso! So colourful!

However, heavy metals mainly accumulate in the scales and gills of fish, which still means that our environmental pollution is very serious. This is a great stamp ::
