More on Leg Banding

[Viraba]

Hi Everyone,
I was looking with interest at the thread on leg banding.
I think it's a good idea to keep track of your birds , but as a new comer when is the best age to do it and what size would people use for red-rumps.........the same as 'tiels ?

Yes I have used the same size rings as teils....at before 10 days,but some legs are small and some are big..so it is just best to try and see even if it is before....The rings will just fall off..but you can just try in another day or so...and wet the feet as well to make it easy for the ring to go on..have you put a ring on before...three toes on in two front and one back...the last toe is gently pulled through....dont force or you will break it...hope you under stand..or some one else can explane it better...
