lost now found


I got my missing grizzle back home. Went missing while loft flying Sunday found Thursday. He was found walking 40 miles from home. The wrong direction too. Somebody swerved to miss him in the street. Thought it was odd a white bird that didn't fly. He went back to see and found my phone number on my snap-on band. He brought the bird home with his baby peacocks he was on his way to buy. Picked him up Friday July 4th. in the morning. Could not fly he was out of gas. A little food and water and percked up. Was flying tonight. Just wanted to share this little story. The phone number snap-on bands were worth every penny.

Congratulations on getting your bird back I'm glad he's back safe and sound, and in one piece too!
Do those bands happen to come in different colors too? I'm thinking they would make a great way to identify birds by different colors PLUS increase the chance of getting lost birds back. Like a 2-in-1 band

I place the phone number band under the seamless band, the hole is slightly smaller than my seamless band. Or just put on other leg. I just like a "clean" leg for the racing countermark.
