ajlinva Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 A friend of mine just purchased a baby African Grey and he/she has a rounded split band. It does have some numbers on it, but just so different from any that I have seen. Does anyone know if this is something new?
Cupid Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 post a pic of it to check it out (and the bird too)
Luvparrots Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I believe closed bands are typically used for hatchlings. Open bands are used for older or full-grown birds. They are not required in the USA. I have three parrots and only my zon has a closed band. I have had my two greys micro-chipped so that any veterinarian can read for the chip and find me.
ajlinva Posted August 13, 2011 Author Posted August 13, 2011 Well, according to the store, this Grey was born on 3/12/11. It looks like a baby and acts like one too, with the little chirps and begging noises that it makes. Plus the eyes are dark like most of the babies I have seen. I am certainly no expert in the field, but just wondering if anyone had any info on these types of bands.
