Sunday Stamps | Birds & People

Stamp issued in 2013, featuring the paintwork El viejo y el pájaro (='The old man and the bird') by painter and writer Luís Seoane (1910-1975).


Heinz Sielmann (1917 – 2006) was a German wildlife photographer, biologist, zoologist and documentary filmmaker. The stamp honouring him was issued in 2017.

As a curiosity, I got it in two different fromats/sizes, as it happens (or happened) with German stamps.



The following stamp features Maya Angelou (1928-2014), a well-known American writer and civil rights activist. The stamp was issued in 2015 and much celebrated, even if... the quote on the stamp was not hers.
"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer,
it sings because it has a song."

This is a post for Sunday Stamps. Today's topic is Birds.

  1. Love the old man and the bird. Bit slapdash of the US Post not to actually use a line from her poetry, there is lots to choose from.

    1. I love that stamp too. It came as a surprise on the envelope of a philatelic order.
