| National BirdThe House Sparrow is the national bird of Paulovia. Once a common bird throughout the islands and around the International Embassy, the species is declining. The royal household and Embassy actively support a feeding and birdbox scheme to encourage the 'little brown budgies' to increase their numbers. The sparrows give constant pleasure to the royal family, embassy staff and visitors, whilst maintaining a delightful and necessary ecological balance in the royal gardens. The sparrow is featured on the 30p value stamp from the Wild Birds stamps set issued in the Spring of 2009. |
 | University of Paulovia (UoP)The University of Paulovia was established in October 2005 and offers a wide range of Honorary Bachelor and Masters Degrees, plus Honorary Doctorates. The use of the UoP Arms was granted to the university by HRH Prince Paul in January 2010. The State Arms were used prior to adoption. The Owl is a traditional figure for wisdom and the Quill Pen symbolic of academic study and creative acts. The Royal Crown of HSH Princess Andriana-Georgia surmounts the mantle as HSH is Patron and Chair of the Faculty Council of the university. |
