Today's stamp is an illustration by awarded Polish illustrator Elzbieta Gaudasinska. The illustration is called Birds Nest and is from her book Proverbs of Truth (73).
It is possible that the featured bird is a Common Firecrest however it may be a lark, pipit or some other bird found in the Republic of Czech or Republic of Slovakia (74).
The people of both Republics use proverbs in their vernacular. The accompanying proverb from Gaudasinska's book might have been (amongst many other possibilities):
God knows why he has made the wings of some birds shorter.
(Slovenian) (75)
or
Birds of a feather flock together.
(Czech) (76)
