Hello birdlovers!

I am getting ready for 2024, before I become overwhelmed by christmas antics!

This swap is for one bird information card. What is that, you ask? Well I thought we could take a piece of 6”x4” cardstock or similar. Decorate one side with a bird and write or type on the otherside information about that bird.

The picture should be realistic so you can see which bird it is - some suggestions are: postage stamp, old card, magazine cutout, cigarette card, postcard, photo, anything as long as it looks like the real bird.

On the back, put the following info:

Common name of bird.

Scientific name.

Location - where in the world would you find the bird?

Habitat - what kind of area does it like to live?

Interesting facts about the bird.

The choice of bird is SENDERS CHOICE, so you could work on it right away!

Send the card in a BIRD THEMED envelope and use REAL POSTAGE STAMPS.

If there is enough interest then maybe we can do it again and build up a collection of different birds!

SUMMARY: One bird info card with picture on one side, information as described above, sent in a bird themed envelope, approximately 4”x6” in size.

Any questions, please message me.

The photo is an australian magpie taken by me in Dunsborough, Western Australia.

Oooo I love this idea! It would be so cool to have a whole collection of them!

Cigarette cards are collectable cards from the days before cigarettes were bad for you. I wasnt around then, but i believe that you got one in a packet of cigarettes and they did different themed collections. Kind of like baseball cards, but smaller. Ive seen them on ebay and in antique stores.
