birds

The spotted dove is endemic to Southeast Asia and likes to be in urban areas. It is often poached as it is a popular caged bird, even though it does not sing. The bulbul on the other hand does sing, loudly, and prefers an evergreen or rainforest.

The top stamp is a painting by Mary Pratt from 1991.
