off the game, using its sharp and powerful beaks (the parrot-like
equivalents of jaws).

Stamps
On May 1, 1840, Great Britain was the first county to issue a postage
stamp - the Penny Black, a one penny, adhesive, paper quadrangle. The
government saw no need to print the country of origin on the stamps -
as no other polity produced such. But it did carry the image of Queen
Victoria.
All British stamps since bear the simile of the reigning royal and do
not name the country of origin - the United Kingdom.
The stamp was good for use from May 6. Thus the first letter bearing
the Black Penny is dated May 6 - and not May 1. On May 8, 1840 another
stamp - a two pence blue Victoria - was disseminated. Both the Black
Penny and the Blue Victoria enjoyed print runs of millions and so -
contrary to urban legend - are not rare, though highly valued by
philatelists. The two immediately became collectors' items.
Perforation was introduced only in 1848-54.
