This Saddleback Postcard from a great backyard shows off the striking plumage of this treasured New Zealand native bird.

Distinctive for its bright orange wattles, the tīeke is famous for being saved from extinction in 1964 when 36 birds were moved from a rat-infested island, saving the entire species.

This large postcard, #73 from our collection, is sized 121mm x 161mm, making it the perfect size to write a note to loved ones back home while you’re on the trip of a lifetime around New Zealand.

We source high-quality card stock for our postcards so they’re easy to write on the back and the image on the front is protected. We’re proud that all of our postcards are printed in Aotearoa New Zealand using environmentally friendly materials which carry the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) accreditation, and using only vegetable inks derived from 99% vegetable sources.
