Hi

Is any one know how can to trace Leg Bands to find out where the bird from?

 

Thanks

Different breeders put different lettering on their bands. Numbers/letters are accurate on closed bands which are put on a chick's leg before it's 10 days to 2 weeks. The problem is what's on the band so check out these links and see if you can get accurate info.

Curious as to why you want to know if the bands can be traced.

 

Also, Dave, can't get the links to work.....is it my iPad, or anyone else having trouble?

I can't get the links to work either.

Judy, Talon, there's nothing wrong with your phones. I went to those sites and all I got was a white screen so I'm gonna assume that there's a glitch somewhere.

 

But to the person who wants to trace the info on the band, go to this site and it'll give a long thorough explanation about leg bands. It's also gonna show you why you may be able or not be able to get info on the band that you want and that has to do with the loads of different information on the band. Many people put different things on the bands and it isn't against the law. Read it thoroughly. Good luck.

Thanks Dave for the site. I have my grey micro-chipped and that gives me peace-of-mind in case she is ever lost. Of course, returning a bird requires that an honest person finds your bird. It's nice to know that in the US a vet will read a micro-chip free to aid in identifying the true owner.
