1. Hi, the higher value of the new cypriot europa 2013 set has two flying birds, probably pigeons.
2013-05-17 15:49:44, Nasia Makarouna, nasia28292(at)hotmail.com, Cyprus, yes
Chris: Thanks. They are too small to be sure, but my imagination sees a Peregrine high to the left in search of a pigeon!

2. I am a long time, but intermediate level US stamp collector. For the last 10 years I become involved in birding and when I found your site. Great resource - I know it represents a lot of work. Query - I have not found a page that describes your criteria for listing a bird stamp on your site. Identifiable to species level? bird exists in issuing country? there is a fairly recent Australian stamp of a Scarlet Macaw which is part of a 'zoo sheetlet' - did 'zoo' disqualify it? These are certainly NOT complaints, but you must have to deal with a lot of 'grey areas' so I was curious
2013-05-14 15:57:05, Peter Coburn, winsome430@comcast.net, MA, USA, yes - countries in which I've birded only
Chris: Thanks for your interest. There are a lot of grey areas! I do collect zoo stamps showing birds that are native to the issuing country.

3. Dear Sir,

I will mail you about Russia 2001. The unindentified gull is according to me Larus Canus. I have a sheet with six stamps and in the margin of the sheet you can see a gull with a yellow bill and legs. The bird on the stamp is this bird from the margin but a bit stylised.

Chris: Can you send me a scan of the sheet, please?

4. Hello again! On the 23rd of May Japan will issue a set of 5 stamps: "Harmony with Nature Series No. 3" and one of the stamps features a bird.
Best regards,

Chris: Thanks. A female Ryukyu Robin (Erithacus komadori).

5. Dear Chris Gibbins: your updates are very useful. I love using your catalogue. However, when you coreect species, dont be ruled by fact that sp. does not occur in country of issue, See Honkong owl. The issue theme of the post office may be: Owls of Asia etc, and in that other range or other issue it might be quite all right. Thanks for the free use, its splendid.
Yours gratefully Tino Mischler, Quito (I am German)
2013-04-18 18:39:26, Tino Mischler, tino.mischler(at)gmx.de, Tumbaco, Quito, Ec., yeah, species
Chris: I agree, but in this case, I was informed of the species in this definitive issue by a contact in China. Unfortunately, he listed Collared Scops Owl as Otus bakkamoena. All the bird lists I have consulted refer to Collared Scops Owl as Otus lettia, hence my correction.

6. I love birds because they are sometimes small and sometime not so small. I also enjoy stamps because i like the queen and she is on stamps. one day in the future i will be on a stamp. I love you bird stamps.

7. When I ran across your website I decided to collect stamps from countries where I have gone birding. On eBay I noticed a number of Madagascar stamps that were on on your list. They look legitimate - your thoughts? Peter
2013-04-14 15:36:26, Peter, winsome430@comcast.net, US, yes, from certain countries
Chris: At the foot of each of my country page is a large, red question mark. Click on that to see why some stamps are missing. To the right of the question mark is a 3-pointed arrow which links to Kjell Scharning's comprehensive page for that country.

8. i like your site very much.it is wonderful to see so many bird stamps on one site

9. Dear Chris,
In surging the page of Spain, I check out that (by clicking on the stamps) you have spare copies of the two stamps: SG4187 (Eurpean Greenfinch, 0.29 euro) and SG4371 (European Bee-eater, 0.31 euro). Would you like to exchange them with me? And then, what would like in reture from Hong Kong?
Kind Regards,
Chiang

14. Four more sheetlets of 4 + S/S have been issued for Niger on March 1st. They are already catalogued by Michel at Michel-online. You can find the names there.
2013-03-30 06:27:12, Adri Witteveen, adriwitteveen@xs4all.nl, Netherlands, yes
Chris: Thanks. I do not subscribe to Michel-online, so I hope Stamperija will issue news of these issues soon.

15. Hello Chris,

My compliments for the excellent website. Concerning the new series of the Dominican Republic I think that the Western Chat-Tanager (Calyptophilus tertius) is already twice depicted on stamps of the same country : SG 1381 and SG 1991.

Sincerely,

Klaas Kuindersma
2013-03-30 06:22:41, Klaas Kuindersma, kakuindersma(at)hotmail.com, Netherlands, Yes I do


16. Hi, the image of Switzerland's white stork stamp (7/5/2013) has been published in the Focus on Stamps 02/2013 which was issued today.
2013-03-29 11:15:48, Nasia, nasia28292athotmail.com, Cyprus, yes
Chris: Thanks for the news!

17. So impressed with your website - thanks for making all this reference available. Please could you explain what family number you are using on the individual stamp listings as I can't match it to your species list. Thanks very much.
