Malawi WWF Bird Stamps
Love birds are one of my favorites but they are also one of the most exploited birds. In coordination with WFF, the Malawi post office has issued last September 30, 2009 a set of stamps depicting Lilian's Lovebirds (Agapornis lilianae). The Lilian Lovebird is also know as Nyasa Lovebird and is the smallest parrot in the mainland Africa.
