What a weird a title for that St Helena set. What's next, motorbikes not manufactured on the island? Plants not found on St Helena? Movies not set on St Helena? Unless there is a conservation effort afoot to re-establish those birds on St Helena I'm not entirely sure why such stamps had to be issued.
