Australia-Scarlet Macaw (Bright)

I don't usually keep bird stamps if the birds are not endemic to that country, but I had to make an exception this time because here we have  brightly colored birds cancelled in Bright, Victoria. What a great combination. The Scarlet Macaw stamps are from the 1994 Australian Zoos series on Endangered Species. The stamps were available in self-adhesives ( as seen here) or in a gummed version. BTW. The  Scarlet Macaw (Ara macaois the national bird of Honduras and found in the hot humid regions of  tropical South America.
