Leg rings

[BabyBird]

I don't know if this is in the right category but if anybody knows what's CZ 14 - (90degrees) 13 128 means on a parrots ring I would appreciate it, I would love somebody to try and find the breeder and date of birth of my parrot, I'm just wondering it's great to know these things about our feathered friends.

The banding of our birds that are bred and raised in captivity was and is a wonderful concept that just never took the way that it should have, this is probably due to the fact that it was never made a legal requirement. Funny how people seem to have to have a law before they will do something that is so beneficial as simple record keeping. As a result of this finding records of the breeders and then further information about the bird even though it is banded is hit or miss at best, many times the only useful information to be obtained from the band is the date of hatch as this is usually a set of number that is turned 90 degrees from the other numbers and letters on the band.
Although there are a few places to learn about the numbers and letters on the band, there is no certainty that the breeder took the time to register the band. Still I wish you luck in this endeavor and I know that Pajarita can be of some assistance in telling you where to begin your search, unfortunately I really don't know the best places to begin.

Thankyou very much the 90 degrees numbers are 14. So I'm guessing she was born 2014. so she's a year old

I didn't know that, Wolf! Going to go home and take a look at our adopted two- one of them has a band.

I guess we learn new things from eachother haha I've written down my birds ID and you can get it registered with the vets so if he gets stolen or lost you can prove that he is yours just in case you didn't know.

Great tip, BabyBird.

Hmmm, it seems to me that she was the 128th baby born on the year 2013 and that she could have come from the Crazy Parrot Aviary in Florida (the 14 could be the GCC 'code' for them as they do breed different species). Why don't you email them and see what they say?

We were told that she was born in 2014 by the pet shop.. We live in uk so she could of been from Florida?? The pet shop says that they are hand picked from local qualified breeders but that's a lie.. She has a green leg band.. Which is a 2014 band in Australia and UK (uk which I live).. So is it correct?? I might give them a email, what should I say??

It is not likely to be from Florida if you are in UK.
