Mauritius

1965 and  1968 Birds

The designs for these Mauritian birds first came out in 1965, and were reissued with an overprint 'self-government' in 1967, and for a third time in 1968 with different background colours. Only the Rodriguez Fody from the 1965 designs is shown here. The Fody pictured here with a blue background was actually issued in 1967, though the design is from 1965. The Tropic bird listed below the 1965 set has a similar design (though the Queen faces a different way), but was only issued in 1967.

If this explanation gives you information overload, and you only want the pictures of the birds, you could go for the cheaper 1965 ones! The others tend to have more appeal for serious collectors, though personally I think the 1967 blue background for the 3c Fody is much prettier than the 1965 one with the brown background.
