🦜 Birds Actually Issued in Cuba in 2009
According to a specialized thematic catalogue (BirdTheme.org), Cuba issued “Turnat 2009” bird stamps on 14 September 2009. These appear to correspond to what many sellers refer to as the Fauna / Local Birds set — and include the following designs:
| Denomination | Bird depicted | Scientific name |
|---|---|---|
| 15 c | Fernandina’s Flicker | Colaptes fernandinae |
| 40 c | Zapata Sparrow | Torreornis inexpectata |
| 50 c | Zapata Wren | Ferminia cerverai |
| 65 c | Red‑shouldered Blackbird | Agelaius assimilis |
| 75 c | Bee Hummingbird | Mellisuga helenae |
| 90 c | Cuban Tody | Todus multicolor |
These are Cuban and Caribbean bird species — many of which are endemic or highly characteristic of Cuban avifauna (e.g., Zapata Sparrow and Zapata Wren are endemic to Cuba) — making the issue a good topical “local birds” set for collectors.
Additionally, a 1 p value (Cuban Parakeet Psittacara euops) is listed in some sources as part of the design layout of the same issue (often as an “imperforate” souvenir or separate value).
- 14 September 2009 — The stamps are listed with this date under the “Turnat 2009” issue in thematic listings.
