Stamp Collecting Month - an initiative introduced 19 years ago with the release of Australian Dinosaurs – endeavours to interest children in the hobby of stamp collecting and occurs in October each year. Australia Post staff members engage with primary school children and teachers, explaining the background to stamps and stamp collecting through a specially selected theme. This year’s theme is Australian Zoos.

Commemorative Issue: Pardalotes Australian Birds

The name “pardalote” derives from the Greek word meaning spotted, as small whitish spots are common to the family, although most particularly to the Spotted Pardalote and Forty-spotted Pardalote.

Pardalotes are small, around 8.5cm to 12cm, with short tails and wings, longish legs and thick stubby beaks. Their plumage combines both dull and striking colours. They prefer a eucalypt habitat over anything else – often the high outer foliage – and they play a strong role in controlling lerp infestations (a sap-sucking insect). These monogamous birds usually feed singly or in pairs during the breeding season, darting quickly among the foliage or like small missiles from tree to tree. They often share in the tasks of nest building, egg incubation and rearing the young. Most species nest in horizontal tunnels built into earth banks.
