2010 RPRA rings

[wilkins]

wonder if without the chip on the rings could eggs be  damaged by the yearlings next year when sitting tight on the nest

[aidenspop]

What differrence filing off the lugs would make, peronally I think they are Sh**e

like i said i got a few pairs sitting youngsters now with these rings on and havent had any problem

[Homing Pigeon]

We supply the Benzing ETS combi chip that fit these rings and to honest they are not too clever. The Dutch boys last year experienced pigeons returning home from races without the chip. Watch when you are using them for racing as they can come off if knock from the bottom of the ring. I wonder who will be first to report a pigeon returning without its chip on the forum. We never learn, time will tell. http://www.homingpigeons.co.uk/benzing.htm

Is there an echo?  

[Novice]

So good he said it twice ;D

[Homing Pigeon]

Don't know what happened there. Sorry may have hit the post reply button twice??

[Homing Pigeon]

Best not to fit the chip when the bird is sitting on eggs. Its possible to damage the eggs as the chip is rather bulky.

[Novice]

I thought the lugs might have damaged the egg.

I decided to go with good old fashioned SHU rings this year  

[pjc]

the other thing that i havn't seen mentioned is a lot of birds get rung upside down, will the chip fall out even easier?

[Homing Pigeon]

I've heard talk about the other unions also introducing the Combi-ring same as the RPRA in 2011.

3 times not twice

[Homing Pigeon]

Chip can slide down the lugs either way, however it only clicks in one way round.

[Fair Play]

I personally liked the type that slide round the ring as easier to keep clean and if in the nest will tend to slip away from any obstruction - Don't use ETS myself

its going to increas the losses ,ie,birds going down for food or water on root home  and contacting with netting and like .

[Tony C]

Cut the ring (between the lugs) of a pigeon put the ring on another pigeon, superglue the chip in place to cover the cut up ........... who's to know :X

Same as me,  thats why i will stick with the normal ets ring, was playing with the idea of glue and melting the end on the bricon chips with a soldering iron,  but no point  :-/
