Legal Identification Of Stolen Parrotsİ
By: R.J.McMillan, Wales, UK.

Parrot thefts have been on the increase over the past couple of years, with little or nothing being done by their owners to identify them if they are stolen, these parrots whether one or quite a number are all considered the owners property.

To claim these Parrots as the owners property in Law, the owner must be able to positively identify each parrot to the law enforcement agencies or in a court of law . Many owners who can positively identify their stock have not legally been able to get them back because of lack of positive legal proof of ownership.

Methods of Identifying Parrots

Close Ring

This is one of the most common forms of identification by Parrot owners, which usually consists of a solid or split stainless steel ring with a unique identification number or letters impressed in it. The solid rings have be fitted soon after the parrot is born, whilst the split ring can be applied at any age.
However leg rings can cause traumas to the legs and feet by getting caught up on perches , wire and associated materials of the aviary or cage construction. These rings are also reasonably easy to remove after the theft.

It is true that parrots without legband is illegal in singapore? Parrots like red-sided eclectus male and female, greys and amazon
