Hi , firstly thank you for trying to help this bird , the rules are there because there has been cases where owners have sent for there birds by couriers , couriers aren't trained in catching birds that are flying free and the courier ends up loosing money and not collecting any bird , so firstly the bird must be contained so it can be collected by the owner or a courier , a small box with holes in and some food and water until owner can arrange to collect. I'll look on this years ring list to see where this ring was registered too
