Postcards – Taiping’s Birds Collection

Inspired by the rich natural surroundings of Taiping, this special collection reflects the quiet strength, diversity, and untamed beauty of the local birdlife. These birds are part of a delicate natural balance that depends on healthy forests, clean water, and protected habitats.

Each original artwork is thoughtfully photographed by Tan and transformed into a collectible postcard — a small piece of Taiping’s wilderness to treasure or share.

Through this collection, we hope to celebrate these remarkable birds while encouraging greater care and protection for the natural world they call home. 

5 Postcards per Set:

1. Beauty of Imperfection (Plaintive Cuckoo) – Perched gently among withered leaves and fading stems, the Plaintive Cuckoo stands in quiet grace — a reminder that even in seasons of decline, there is elegance, resilience, and a subtle beauty that remains untouched.

2. Crested Serpent Eagle – Perched with quiet authority upon a moss-lined branch, the Crested Serpent Eagle watches with piercing golden eyes — a symbol of vigilance, strength, and silent dominance over the forest it calls home.

3. Green-backed Flycatcher – Small yet lively, a bright flicker of color among shaded branches.

4. Oriental Pied Hornbill – Bold and unmistakable, an icon of the rainforest canopy.

5. Stand Alone Till the End (Yellow Vented Bulbul) – Delicately perched upon a fading lotus stem, this quiet little bird embodies resilience in solitude. Surrounded by withering petals and gentle greens, it stands firm — a reminder that even in seasons of change and endings, there is strength in standing alone.

A deeper story of perseverance, individuality, and the living spirit of Taiping’s forests.
