Notes on the Monetary System of Birdland
WITH A CONCISE EXPLANATION OF BIRD ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION

The stamps above are described in terms intelligible to the humans who
currently dominate cyberspace. Those birds from Birdland reading this
will immediately note that the inscriptions written in pence should have
properly designated in chirrups.

The postage due stamps in the above presentation  were correctly described
in Too Wittas, probably because these stamps are more commonly seen on
mail returned by the Birdland Post Office. The stamps of Birdland proper
are seldom seen in the Outer World. The Outer World is considered to be
a Myth by the Birds. Birds cannot imagine an intelligent society that does
not engage in winged flight. Thus that biped reality common to us is the
subject of the fairy tales of the Birds. 

There is little acceptable to the Birdland Postal Administration among the
postal issues of the human world. The stamps of the Universal Postal
Union are not considered valid for postage within Birdland. Incoming mail
is always heavily taxed by the postal tax stamps seen above in the Postage
Due section.

The Earl of Egg is currently Postmaster General of Birdland. Any nations
seeking postal recognition by the Earl and his Avian Advisory Committee,
are encouraged to email him via the author of this blog. His enclave in
Cheepia off the southern coast of Birdland is inaccessible online. He is
known to be easily bribed by sesame seeds. So postal administrators be
advised. As I am the Postmaster General of the Amphoran Postal Union
I have been entrusted by the Earl of Egg to make this communication to
the Outer World and the post offices of the most remote reaches of
of the continents beyond the Avian Sea.
