New Zealand-Game birds

Now here is something different from  Wellington ,New Zealand. Two license fee stamps and one semi-postal stamp cancelled with the one pictorial postmark ,which looks to be a Wellington tram. The NZ Fish and Game stamps are issued annually as minisheets. Bobwhite Quail was 2012 and the Ring-necked pheasant 2011. Although produced by NZ post, these stamps are not valid for postage but proceeds from the sales goes toward habitat protection. The self-adhesive stamps from 2011 is the Takahe or Purple swamphen               (Porphyrio hochstetteri) on a 60c semi postal stamp from a 3v set. Thanks to Holger for this special cover.
