Various Vintage Stamps of Birds + Some F.Y.I.

Which came first, the bird or the egg? This stamp is about birds. But I was once an egg, so I will say egg, and I kinda feel obligated to provide a brief list of a few overly-delicious egg dishes (124 to be exact).
Eggs are laid by females of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, and have been eaten by mankind for thousands of years. Bird and reptile eggs consist of a protective eggshell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes. Popular choices for egg consumption are chicken, duck, quail, roe, and caviar, but the egg most often consumed by humans is the chicken egg, by a wide margin.
