The Vintage Birds Memory Deck and Guidebook is a 50-card deck depicting 25 pairs of the world's most beautiful birds from vintage artworks and an 80-page guidebook with interesting descriptions of each of the birds and the birds' most distinguishing and interesting characteristics.
Some of the birds are endangered, rarely seen and unique to a certain area, while others are commonly seen and range widely across continents - but all gloriously illustrated by John and Elizabeth Gould, two of the most famous ornithological illustrators in history. Memorise and learn about Fairy Bluebird from the Philippines, Major Mitchell's Cockatoo from Australia, the European Goldfinch, Eurasian Blue Tit and many more.
