The new Maia & Borges water birds

SUSANNE wrote:

Thankyou, Roger, I am still trying to take pictures, buuuh, there must be something wrong with...the camera

Here is a scan of the nice tag they have.
I was trying to find the Danish names for them...hmmm, perhaps M&B should find somebody who checks the spelling in the future

I've learned something with you. So weird that I love it!
Mullard is very good but red throated driver is more than good
Now I know why everywhere in Portugal we see placards saying: "If you drink don't drive!"
I'll tell them about it. Surely is not the brand that makes the tags but order it to another company.
The same reason why we see some mistakes in Schleich catalogues too. :)
See a mullard in this Wikipedia article!
Let me tell you that the names in Portuguese are correct and that I appreciate to see the names of the species with the figures. The brands that donnot identify them will never mistake them. :)
Anyway and although the tags are beautiful, I'm glad they are better making figures than tags. :) :)
Thanks for telling and I'm eager to see your water birds!

Ohh, they are almost the same as the ones Yvette made
But here are the ones I have taken for my site

These are the ones I see in my lake ( before the FISH )
Tifted duck ( we call them Troll-ducks, they are SO funny to watch !), Mute swan, and MALLARD

Good, old, well known birdies
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Wood duck ( We call it a bride-duck in Danish for some strange reason ) and the extremely rare Falcated duck. The latter is so rare that it seems that it does not have a name in Danish
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And all together

I LOVE THEM

Thanks Susanne!
Does the tag of the tufted duck is saying tifted duck?
I googled a little and I've found that falcated duck is segland in Danish! Am I right?

Congratulation Susanne I must find more money now

Yes, it DOES say TIFTED duck

WOW! How did you find the name of that segland
It means "Sickle-duck"

Christophe, - you must start digging !
Some time ago a young man found a bunch of old silver coins in a field somewhere in Denmark.
The Danish state has awarded him more than a hundred thousand Euros, - can you imagine all those plastic toys he could get for that

I've found it here!
This great website about birds is much better for you than Wikipedia. It seems that Danish Wikipedia is not very complete, unless when compared with English and Portuguese versions. We are many more!

You could try to ask this guy : info(at)spielzeug-guenstig.de
He writes that for shipments aoutside EU, he is not responsible for extra import tax etc, so perhaps he will send to you ?

The shipping may be expensive, but the figures are 18 % cheaper that the usual price :

If this is not possible, perhaps some German STS-member will buy for you and send ?
I would love to help, but shipping from Denmark is madly expensive

Good luck

Latest info - MPV will get Maia & Borges birds very soon

It is nice to see the brand in so many important online shops and mainly the interest of many members! :)
I hope M&B reacts to the good feedback of this forum and customers and turns their animal lines in an important part of their range.

That would be great!
