standing in the water or walking through high grass. The sex of the bird, if known, should be indicate by the common practice of banding females on the left and males on the right. Very close attention must also be given to the way a band fits; it must ride freely over the leg bone. It is wise to shape the band slightly for various species of diving birds whose leg bones are flattened. The plastic bands can be shaped if heat is applied. Once ringed a constant watch must be kept for the slightest infection or swelling in the area of the band. If infection is detected it must be treated immediately. 2 1 tarsometatarsus 2 tibiotarsus Fig.1: Diagram of a bird leg showing areas for ringing How to remove a leg band? Get a pair of band clippers which are specifically designed to remove a leg band. Hold the bird still, with one leg extended. Use the bird band clippers to carefully clip the leg band and remove it Save the clipped band for future use. Examine your bird‟s foot afterwards for any lesions, spots and scaly areas. Know that to help your bird heal from leg band irritation you should increase its intake of vitamins and nutrients as well as sunlight. 5.2 PATAGIAL TAGGING Patagial tagging refers to the fitting of a plastic tag to the “patagium” or frontal flap of skin to the wing of a bird and has been used worldwide with great success on a wide range of bird species including vultures and condors, swans and eagles. Patagial Markers are shapes of vinyl (often circles) or cattle ear tags (square with codes) attached over the leading edge (or patagium) of the wing. These markers are very visible both in flight and on perched birds, although part of the marker may be obscured by feathers on a perched bird. Homemade markers may be any shape and may include multiple colors. Codes of letters and numbers are usually painted or sewn 54
onto the marker. Commercial cattle ear tags are plastic with codes of letters and numbers. Cattle and sheep ear tags are sometimes used as patagial tags on birds.
