Book excerpt: Stamp themes, also called thematic stamps or topical stamps, are any postage stamps that have a specific subject or topic which are collectively gathered by enthusiastic topical/thematic stamp collectors. Stamp collectors, obviously, like stamps and so they tend to collect them. But of course, just like other people, stamp collectors also have other interests.Apart from hobby, the stamps subjects help to learning enough about the topic to recognize subtle connections. The Birds are very interesting subject for everybody. Especially students of Zoology, Bird Watchers, Environmentalists and Nature lovers.I found the Indian Poatal Authorities has issued lot of good issues on Birds time to time . But the awareness about that stamps are very less and information about that subjects have not reached the public enough, as the stamps are on sale for a small period of time.More over the Authorities inform only about the feature of the stamps, not the detail about the stamp's subject matter. I felt Birds are very good subjects on stamps and the information about them will be a interesting reading for Students, and general public.This is my attempt to bring out the subject on Indian Birds featured in Stamps of India. The first stamps (Four) on Birds were released by Indian Postage Authorities in 1968. After that many beautiful birds' stamps were released by them frequently. As myself a student of Nature and Environment I enjoyed collecting details about them. I am happy to present this as a book. Thank you. M.H.Subamenu
