Pippin stepped up onto my hand for some seeds a while ago (really excited she trusted me enough to eat from my hand), and I noticed her leg band is open, and not a closed breeder one like I originally thought.
Upon further investigation, I discovered that Sammi’s band is also open.
Being totally new to this, I have a few questions.
1) Do open leg bands always mean the bird was imported, or can breeder bands be open as well?
2) Is there a way to track the origins/age/gender of the bird through the band?
3) I’m planning to take them to the vet as soon as I can, should I get the bands removed? I’m worried they could catch on something.
