1980 Republik Indonesia Parrot Series Philatelic Souvenir Sheet

This is a philatelic souvenir sheet from Republik Indonesia, dated 1980, featuring a series of indigenous parrots (Nuri). The sheet is printed on a vibrant yellow ground and contains multiple perforated stamps of varying denominations: 350,- (Nuri Elang), 250,- (Nuri Dada Merah), 400,- (Nuri Punggung Kuning), and several smaller denominations along the bottom edge including a 75,- and 100,- value. The artwork depicts detailed, scientifically illustrated birds perched on branches against stylized green foliage. At the top of the sheet, there are two large, symmetrical line-art illustrations of mythical or stylized birds in black ink. A distinct red pentagonal logo, likely representing the Indonesian postal service or a specific philatelic event, is visible on the left margin. The sheet maintains its original perforations, though there is a noticeable misalignment and partial overlap of the bottom row of stamps, suggesting they may have been moved or were part of a larger sheet assembly. The paper appears to be in good condition with no significant foxing or tearing evident, though the edges show slight unevenness typical of collected philatelic items. The printing quality is characteristic of late 20th-century offset lithography with clear, legible typography and rich color saturation in the bird illustrations.
