This Australian 6-cent definitive stamp features the striking Blue-faced Honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis), a native bird known for its vivid blue facial patch and agile nectar-feeding behavior. The artwork captures the bird in mid-flight, highlighting its olive-green wings and white underparts against a pale background.

Issued as part of the definitive “Native Birds” series during the mid-1960s, this stamp showcased Australia’s rich avian diversity through elegant naturalistic design. It remains a favorite among collectors for its crisp illustration and fine printing typical of the era.
