Jordan Post issued this comprehensive Birds set in February 2009, featuring eight stamps and a souvenir sheet showcasing native and migratory bird species found in Jordan's diverse ecosystems. The designs, dated 2008, present detailed illustrations of birds ranging from waterfowl like the Mallard to desert specialists such as the Cream-colored Courser. Each stamp captures the distinctive characteristics of species that inhabit Jordan's varied landscapes, from the Jordan Valley's wetlands to the arid southern regions. Notable inclusions are the Palestine Sunbird, a regional endemic, and the Hoopoe, which holds cultural significance across the Middle East. The set demonstrates Jordan's commitment to wildlife conservation awareness and reflects the country's position along major migratory bird routes connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa. The souvenir sheet features a striking Kingfisher with a fish, emphasizing the aquatic habitats found along the Jordan River system. This philatelic tribute serves both educational and conservation purposes, highlighting Jordan's rich avifauna while promoting environmental stewardship among collectors and the general public.
