Scaly-naped Pigeon (Patagioenas squamosa): Another species present in Cuba, known for its distinctive scaly nape.

Another notable issue is the 1979 set showcasing various pigeon species, reflecting the country’s appreciation for its native fauna.

These stamps are sought after by collectors and can be found through various philatelic dealers and online platforms. They serve as a testament to Cuba’s rich natural heritage and the cultural significance of pigeons in the country.
