Perhaps seeing one of the local butterflies fluttering by, I don't know what the Malagasy call it so will have to stick to its scientific name - Acraea hova. It lives in forests so the stamp has a nice leafy green background.

But for all over green it has to be this pair of Green-rumped parrotlet found in northeastern South America and the island of Trinidad. I wondered why it was called a parrotlet and then saw its size - 4.7 inches (12cm) long.

Which one would you choose as a pet I mused to myself ; Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, very nervy, Miniature Schnauzer, energetic and need a lot of grooming, German Shepherd, always find them a bit scary. Cocker Spaniel, like the sound of their own voice so can bark a lot although it does depend on the dog and they are pretty, West Highland White Terrier, I'm weakening always wanted to put a tartan collar on one and lastly Dachshund, high on the cute factor. One of our national sports tv and radio presenters Mark Chapman, has two dachshunds and made a ladder for them so they can get on the bed at night, now there is a dog lover.
