Of all wild things, birds are the most popular, the most admired. Possibly the SONGBIRDS receive the most attention, but the bigger birds in this picture collection are more spectacular. It takes a little more effort to know them, but a pair of binoculars will bring them close. Actually, male ducks are more strikingly patterned than most SONGBIRDS and a pheasant can match the iridescence of any tropical hummingbird.
Brooke Bond, through its great program of conservation education, with these picture cards, has made hundreds of thousands of people more aware of these birds and other wildlife that co-exist with us. --Roger Tory Peterson [inside fr. cover]

Work Description
Collecting original Brooke Bond tea cards is a hobby that has a huge following. This title helps to see how each album was intended to look, with every card printed in its correct position, making every page an enormously colourful feast for the eyes.
Audubon Society of Canada endorsed Cards, (with an album to preserve each series of cards), were issued in both Canada and America, and free, found inside packages of Red Rose Tea & Blue Ribbon Coffee. Albums were ordered by mail by taping your 25 cent coin to each provided order form. That was a much safer, more honest, and gentler time.
