For my own birds this would be great but for the ones sent to the OLR's might not work. They only want "official" AU or IF or CU bands.
I certainly would not use 100 bands but they are cheap enough, I paid .55 for mine from the combine. Have to support the combine though.
Using these for my own birds is good because they cannot be traced back to me. I hate to lose a bird and then have a call from a hundred miles away saying they found my bird and what am I going to do about it. Last year I had 2 calls, lucky for me 1 was sick and soon died, the other one was picked up by a friend of mine. The thing I really dread is having my bird cause an accident by flying in front of a car and the driver swerves to miss it or something similar. Also a sick bird could infect or somebody could claim it infected a flock of chickens or other pigeons or whatever and they traced the band back to me. I a case like that these bands would be good.

Hi Wildcat, i was thinking if you band your birds with the china bands and you put them in a race when the results come out you find 2 birds with the same band#s from another flyer who brought 2019 au bands from foys or jedds and if you lose the bird and someone finds your bird the will contact the guy who brought his bands from foys.

Funny, that guy would say "I sent a blue bar to the race and this is a red check ". That would be funny.

I had a bird that I picked up that was lost 120 miles away. I got a call from someone who had found it. Luckily I was heading in their direction a couple of days later and picked it up. After that I could not loose that bird no matter what. I still have her one of my best birds.

Funny, we should have gotten together, I ordered some too. I already have 100 IF bands but I might band the ones I'll be flying with these - for the reason I already posted.
