    Is anyone here old enough to remember those collectable cards with pictures of Australian native birds on them that you used to find in packets of tea?

    Edit: they were in Tuckfields tea.

        Oh Tetley was it? I remember the smell of the tea on the cards and I loved them for that as well as the pictures! I had a big collection too that I lost over the years. Wasn’t in books as my folks were too stingy to buy the books you put them in.

        Edit: I think your hubby must have the OG Tetley ones, whereas mine were the Tuckfields ones from the 70s
