jake12 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 With Unikon ETS rings you can find out who it`s registered to by asking a club sec to try and register it. (It shows the loft No of the fancier it was registered before, and that has to be deleted before it can be registered to anyone else.)

Sounds so very ungrateful to me!. YOU know that your bird has dropped in another loft. That someone fed and watered it! Ok, maybe took the ring off to LET you know! Or even to use themselves. Either way it tells you what and what not! Better to know than wonder if retuning a week or so after and wondering. Gosh if the first then to moan - to me- seems very unfair, or even childish. We waste. for whatever reason $#s every season etc. Yet moan when some one lets you know it has dropped in their loft! Yes could take the hassle and time to put a little message in! It's your bird to look after and take care of. Not theirs! Personally one should say 'Thanks for letting me know'! Gosh what is a quid in this day and age?!

walterboswell59 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 there is plenty other ways to let you know a birds been in a loft without removing the ets ring such as a piece of paper with details pushed into the ring these people are nothing but thieves no excuse for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
