Help needed

This is a cute card that has been floating around in an old box for years. I see that it comes from Russia so it must have been included in some correspondence with my cousins who live over in Moscow.

I love the wee picture of the birds and wanted to see if @anden can translate the words which were on the back of the card!

@anden - Anatoly - would you be able to translate the top two lines for me?

[Rashella]

Very pretty card

[Ann Stenson]

How wonderful Maggie! : )

[Kerri]

Wonderful capture

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Such cute little birds -- hope you find a translator!

[Frida]

This is a very pretty card Maggie, now I want to know what it says too :)

[Maggiemae]

@frida The alphabet is so difficult, I can't copy it to get it translated!

[Frida]

@maggiemae My friend will be able to tell us tonight if Anatoly does not log on in the mean time :) will check it later on tonight

[Maggiemae]

@frida It is only 4.47am at the present time in Russia so don't expect anything for some hours! Really keen to find out!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My guess is that the top line says "House Sparrow" because that's what they look like and the second line is probably their Latin name (which I can look up for you if you want). It also looks like the artist's copyright is the third line. Sweet picture.

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann Is this just a guess, Ann? I would think that's right - the second line would be the species name!

Special cards ... very pretty. Russian translation : "this is a pretty card that deserves a place on project365"

[Maggiemae]

@havrotb Thank you Barbara! I am currently trying to turn my keyboard into a russian one - have to find my passport!

@maggiemae Sure, Maggie. It is written: 'Field Sparows. Artist Kanevsky V' And further: Publishing House - Izobrazitelnoye Iskusstvo (Image Art), Moscow... Send only in an envelope...
I'm so glad that I could help you. And thank you so much for your rhymes to my pic of two birds - it is so lovely!

[Ceeceebee]

Such a pretty card and now the mystery is solved. The wonders of 365!

[Maggiemae]

@anden @yonnie @frida @catwoman2 Thank you Anatoly - I knew you would come up with the answer! So, field sparrows - they are very colourful!
