I think this is so sweet! This vintage image comes from an early Natural History book. These are two birds, one in a nest, and one just above keeping watch! I wish I could say these lovely birds have some sort of romantic name, but in fact they are “Warty Faced Honey-eaters“. Not very nice, whoever named them!! Still, name aside, I think they are great and would make a wonderful card for a young couple buying their first home.

Karen, This is very sweet, thank you! I think I’ll call them Funny-faced Honey Eaters and I’ll defy anyone (except you and your readers) to contradict me.
I was looking through your archives and was reminded how much I like the game cards you’ve posted (there are some in Games and Cards, and some in other places which I’ve forgotten, Animals maybe). Anyway, perhaps you have some others that you haven’t posted? Because it would be cool to have a set. To play with. I may look like an adult but I act like a kid, often! thanks so much, Nancy

Thank you all for your kind comments!
Nancy,
Yes, I can post more of those, I actually have posted several others, but I erased the card part of the image to fit some requests that I’ve had. The Pear is one that comes to mind.
