Sustainable future: 3 stamps with the
one for "biodiversity" featuring possible
Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus).
The image is taken from the online version of Stamp Bulletin 383.
The note associated with this issue:"The stylised scenes in this stamp issue focus on
environmental sustainability. The biodiversity
stamp scene is inspired by Lake Connewarre,
Victoria, the site of trials for the release of the
critically endangered
Orange-bellied Parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) and the site of tree
planting as habitat for Koalas. The wetland plants
-featured are favoured by the parrot and by the
Growling Grass Frog (Litoria raniformis), which is
vulnerable in Victoria."
The white line on the underwing features in this
photograph of a Budgerigar in flight, but that was the only similarity I could find.
It might be best to leave this as unidentifiable.
