postcrossing #25
A postcard showing Kakapo(owl parrot), a kind of bird that could be found in New Zealand only. This kind of bird is flightless, nocturnal. It is the world’s only flightless parrot, the heaviest parrot, nocturnal, herbivorous. Some research says that this kind of bird is possibly the world’s longest living bird. The Kakapo is critically endangered, in 2012, there were only 126 known individuals.
The first stamp shows the Mitre Peak. It is the ironic peak on the South Island of New Zealand. The peak is named due to its shape, after the mitre headwear of Catholic bishops. The stamp is released in 2010.
The second stamp is from Local Motifs series in 2011. This stamp shows Trout Fishing (鱒魚) there.
