Song bird stamps released by USPS.
The new Songbirds stamps,
released on April 5, depict 10 artistically crafted images of popular songbirds
from across the land. To accompany the release of these vocally gifted birds,
audio samples of their melodic musings are available for the listening pleasure
of all. Between 4,000 and 4,500 different types of songbirds can be found
around the planet, accounting for nearly half of all bird species. Songbirds
are identified by their highly developed vocal organs. Some songbirds, like the
crow, have harsh voices, others sing rarely or not at all. All songbirds are
classified as perching birds. With three toes pointing forward and one pointing
backwards, they can grip branches and grasses with ease. The new Songbirds stamps are available as First-Class
Forever stamps in books of 20 and can be ordered here.
