Two Birds and a Helicopter from Mauritius

Perfectly postmarked at the Tribecca Mall in Trianon, in the Plaines Wilhems District near the center of the tropical paradise known as Mauritius. On the left is a Rodrigues Parrot stamp from the 2025 Extinct Species 3 definitive set. In the middle is a 2013 stamp showing a Mascarene Swallow. And the stamp on the right is from a 2024 set commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Mauritius Police Helicopter Squadron.

Port Louis, Mauritius

Some savage postal employee thoroughly defaced the wonderful stamps on this nice cover from Mauritius. I wonder sometimes if it's just done out of spite. From bottom left to right, a cowrie shell from a 2017 sea shells set, a 2022 stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of the municipal theater in Port Louis, a 2023 stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of the State Bank of Mauritius, and a Mauritius Blue Pigeon from a 2022 extinct species definitives set.
