[Djibouti] Djibouti spurfowl - location stamp
Djibouti is a country located in the Horn of Africa, with a population of under 1 million people. Djibouti currently does not have a location stamp. While there might not be many active Slowly users there, it would be very nice if every country in the world had at least one location stamp that is not a flag. The Djibouti spurfowl or Djibouti francolin is a bird species in the pheasant family that is critically endangered and found only in Djibouti. This species is grayish-brown overall with white stripes and streaks on its underparts which become finer towards the upperparts. It has black markings on the head and a gray crown and has a short tail. It is 35 cm (1.15 ft) in length, and weighs 940 g (33 oz). Its natural habitat is high altitude subtropical or tropical dry forest composed primarily of African juniper. However, the juniper forests preferred by the spurfowl are dying, so it may be found in other habitats, such as box-tree forest. This bird is only known from two locations in Djibouti, one of which is largely unsurveyed. It can be found in small groups and is extremely shy. It is known to feed on berries, seeds, and termites, and it breeds between December and February. It is considered a critically endangered species because it underwent a 90% population decline in twenty years. The degrading of its juniper habitat through man-made disturbances, such as overgrazing, is a major threat to the spurfowl's survival. Ongoing conservation work includes the restoration of some juniper forest, and surveys to obtain accurate population counts and to raise awareness. Djibouti francolin is a symbol of the country and has been featured on Djibouti's currency (francs) and postage stamps. To the native people of Djibouti, it is known as the kukaaq . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djibouti_spurfowl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djibouti

Tales from 1001 Nights (Arabian Nights) set
These stories are known and loved by millions of people all around the world. They would make an amazing set with each of the stamps telling their own story: 1) Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp Luckily for us, Disney doesn't own this tale. Stamp with the Jinn (Genie) would be perfect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin 2) Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Baba_and_the_Forty_Thieves I guess everyone knows the plot, so I was thinking something with the treasures and the cave, but there other options as well 3) Sinbad the Sailor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinbad_the_Sailor There are many ideas and many creatures/monsters here, because Sinbad traveled near and far. I was thinking about something with the giant bird, but there's a lot to choose from. 4) Scheherazade The main storyteller, who outsmarted the murderous sultan and stayed alive by telling him stories every night withouth finishing them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade 5) Prince Ahmad and the Fairy Peri-Banu https://arabiannights.fandom.com/wiki/The_Story_of_Prince_Ahmed_and_the_Fairy_Paribanou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri Peri can be decribed as a female jinn. Integral to the Persian mythology, and also present in the tales from 1001 nights. I think another stamp with a female character is needed, and this one would be perfect. 6) Magic Carpet Not exclusive to Arabian Nights, but it's hard to imagine the set without it. Within the same tale, Prince Hussain, the eldest son of the Sultan of the Indies, travels to Bisnagar (Vijayanagara) in India and buys a magic teleporting tapestry, also known as a magic carpet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_carpet
