What a lovely thread, thanks for starting it!
What a fun idea - here are some of the bird cards I’ve sent:
and here are some bird cards I have received:
A beautiful card I received from India!
These birds are lovely, received a while back.
I do love this owl I received; by artist Albrecht Dürer.
Lovely topic, thank you @Florallle!!
Here are a couple of my recently sent bird postcards:
• Purple-crowned Fairy-wren
• Red-backed Fairy-wren
• Zebra finch
• Eastern curlew
• and an illustrated Rainbow lorikeet
I have many more I think. We have some pretty amazing birds here.
And a few more pretties, because I’m on a roll…
• Red-browed pardalote
• Sacred kingfisher
• Budgerigar
• Emu
• Adélie penguin
• Australian brush-turkey
• Tawny frogmouth
There was a lady (I believe from Denmark) who belonged to one of those Yahoo groups years ago. She had a pretty impressive collection of Birds on postcards as I recall.
About a year ago, I ran a lottery offering the postcards featuring Birds:
Thanks everyone for your amazing replies. So many wonderful birds already.
These are some of the first birds I received on postcards when I joined postcrossing:
And one that I sent, Great tit, Parus major
I know Tawny Frogmouths are masters of disguise, but I really really had to look to spot this one!
Haha @Florallle I know what you mean! Postcards of old branches are not my favourite type of postcard!!
A few of mine:
Some more. These are from my early days in postcrossing and I didn’t always find out the names
And I think this about wraps up all of my ‘sent’ birds:
A new one today!
I am sad I can’t find this card in shops anymore :
I’m not sure what these are. Top middle might be a linnet, and below that a goldcrest maybe. Does anyone know?
And some I sent, starting with a kingfisher:
And a barn owl:
And here are a few of my favourite received ones
Some more I’ve received:
I’m guessing this is a fieldfare, though I’ve never seen the breast as red as this:
And a few more that I sent:
Yellow wagtails, Motacilla flava
