It is extremely important, especially if they fly outside. They can be traced (if good records are kept) should they get lost and someone finds them.
I have all mine banded, and I did get some made with my name and address and phone for any babies I have. It is also important to leave a forwarding number, should you move and change phone numbers. Records need to be kept current so the information on bands is always up to date, regardless of whether you buy club bands or have them made with your personal info. on them.

I've banded all my bird's offspring. Otherwise next year I wouldn't be able to tell them apart from the parents, I would have no idea how old they were and I wouldn't be able to sell them to anybody due to not knowing if I was selling a 10 yr old bird or a yearling. That's a unique problem with all white birds.

We have been keeping record on paper and have named each bird by certain markings on them. It is becoming difficult , as we have like 22 birds now. I guess I can buy bands at Foys. I have got to get on that website tonight. Can the wild life people take my birds b/c their not banded?
