The Grass Cutter Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 A new inovation for saveguarding pigeons has now been introduced. The injectable microchip ( 1mmx 6mm) contains a unique manufacturers code. It can also contain pigeons ring number, colour, race etc. It provides protection against theft, if the ring is removed it has an updated database that can prove the pigeons owner. It also has the possibility of using of using your name in the database and linking it to your personal website. Organisations may provide additional security codes in the microchip to promote and prevent fraud during races etc. The company will be coming to Blackpool to employ up to 5 Vets in the UK who are used to dealing with pigeons. Can anyone help with the name and telephone number of any Vet who they would recommend.

Guest Hjaltland Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Are these microchips waterproof... i.e. can they be used in fish? LMAO .... ;D Honestly... I need to know for a project.
bewted Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 i will have a talk with my vets in next few days and see if there interested in doing it !!!
BANDIT Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 I believe they microchip pigeons in china ,dont know if its for racing or to protect against theft similar to getting your dog chipped, A question now for the forum members why cant we microchip our pigeons with information of colour and ring number inclosed, get them done just the once in a lifetime but they would still carry a life ring, of course a vet might have to do it, I wellcome your views BANDIT
