To all those Bears that collect birds on stamps and make use of the site Birds of the world on Postage Stamps, this is to inform you that I noticed that this site will close at end September 2014. I is a great pity as I made use of this site often to identify my bird stamps. Therefore download whatever you need before the site closes.

My main collecting interest is the Fire Service (stamps, First Day Covers, postcards and slogans). I also collect Birds, Lighthouses, Civil War, Frogs, Rugby and Mills. My country collections are South Africa, Australia and Rhodesia. It never stops adding on. I would consider myself more of a topical collector.

I am not sure why you cannot open the link I have it saved on my desktop.

I just tried my link and it works just fine. I did notice the link I posted from a copy and paste ends with forward slash and when I tried to edit it the link has gone from my post!!

Can a mod help with this problem.

@nueman and tony, I went to the link and did not have a problem, as well. @nueman, I suspect that this has more to do with how your searched for the link. Typically these errors happen when the url is either not correctly entered into your search bar or another possibility is that you had additional letters or numbers in your search bar when you typed or pasted the link into your search bar.

This little bit.../Â, seems to be a piece of html code that somehow wound up in your search.

Worked for me too, and I have used the site often, a great pity if it were to close. It is an excellent site and the lengths the author goes to get things right can be easily seen if you look at the "Identification Queries" section. Great work!
