List of birds on stamps

Birds on stamps is a common theme in philately and a popular subject for topical stamp collectors.

Birds started appearing on stamps by 1875, when Japan issued a series of stamps bearing stylized illustrations of three species. The first United States bird stamp was a registry stamp issued in 1911, depicting an eagle with wings outspread. The UK issued its first in honor of "Nature Week" in 1963. As of 2003, over 10,000 bird stamps had been issued around the world.
