Our foster birdie Elvis went to the vet yesterday for a nail trim, etc. Up until then, I hadn't been able to read his leg band. Although it looks like an import band, I had been told that there are still breeders that use open bands. So, I wasn't positive. Anyway, I finally got the numbers/letters. There are three letters (FEH) followed by 3 numbers, which I'm not remembering right now but they're something like 754. From everything I've read, that means my little guy is a wild caught parrot and that he came in through Florida (the "F" letter) in 1992 or prior. Does anyone have any info that might differ from that? I had been told by another person that she thought Elvis looks younger than 25 but can you tell unless they're really young? Also, Elvis is a really, really sweet bird. I had also been told that's unusual for wild caught parrots. Does anyone else here have a wild caught too? What are they like?

Oh, and my vet also thinks it's an import band.
