About the Holiday Birds issue

This holiday season three-stamp issue features colourful illustrations of three birds that overwinter in Canada. The first stamp features a cardinal (Permanent™ domestic rate), the second stamp features a blue jay (U.S. rate), and the third stamp features an evening grosbeak (international rate). This is the first stamp by Hambly & Woolley Inc.

About the blue jay

Many creatures in nature bring good tidings, especially birds such as blue jays. Their brilliant colours and visits to backyard feeders brighten the season and can bring us meaningful messages, which vary by culture or tradition. The incredibly smart and tenacious blue jay often mates for life and in some traditions, it symbolizes strength, loyalty and lasting bonds.

About the design

With vibrant tones of blue, red, brown and white, this illustrated stamp features a blue jay sitting on a berry-filled branch, looking right. A depiction of a blue wintery sky is in the background, with a representation of snowflakes falling around the bird. Illustrated by Sandra Dionisi, the stamps feature lively pops of colour, providing a festive and wintery look, and emphasizing the beauty of the natural world during the holiday season.
