Thanks why would you want to ring birds? are you in a pigeon club or thinking of starting one? and what area are you in?
Salman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 Hi Paul, I'm only helping a friend of mine whose English is worse than mine. He is breeding very rare specious of pigeons and would like to own the machine to serve his pigeons community. We live in Saudi Arabia. Thanks
pjc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 what kind of rings are you talking about, rubber race rings or permenant registration rings?
Salman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 yes, permenant registration rings (metalic)
pjc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 you don't need a machine they are put on the birds by hand when they are 5 to 7 days of age.
pjc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 i have never seen a machine, do it by hand before the leg grows to big!
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 there rich over there mate i dont think there is ringer for met rings
OLDYELLOW Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 there aint a machine to ring pigeons with other than race rubbers , i have tried to get some images of a bird been rung i know these pictures are usualy in beginners book , but i cant find any , maybe some pictures of a bird been rung would help if anyone could find any or has any
Salman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 Well, we also need the machine for lettering (engraving). It's got to be for mass ring production not less than 200 rings a day. We have a big birds and pigeons community here in Saudi Arabia. In fact we have this machine in some parts of Saudi Arabia and my friend would like to own one for his business. You would not believe if I tell you that precious or rare pigeon community in Saudi Arabia are people from middle and low class, not rich.

Guest strapper Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 this is why i questioned the need for a ringer,metalic rings will have to be put on in the 1st few days of being born,unless he means a ringer like the british bird council uses to close open rings and seal them...as they put on swans etc.
Salman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 hi Paul Metallic rings will have to be put on in the first few days of being born. Birds owners never trust sealed rings like the one used for swans.
Guest strapper Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 hi Paul Metallic rings will have to be put on in the first few days of being born. Birds owners never trust sealed rings like the one used for swans. forgive me but were you not asking for a ringer? i cant understand why you would need a ringer for putting rings on youngbirds? because just about everyone i know uses their hands to do this easy job. im lost why you want a ringer,because you cant stretch metalic rings , unless ive been off the planet for a few years then ive never heard of a ringer for youngsters has anyone else....??
OLDYELLOW Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 these are the type of rings we use : http://www.everythingforpets.com/premier_name_and_address_pigeon_rings.pet/use.id.5.item_id.1445.dept.165/ the ring you have shown re the metal stip rings are only used for tagging wild birds
Salman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 You did not get me Paul. The machine is not to put the ring. The machine will produce rings with permanent lettering. You insert a pipe inside the machine then you'll type the code any code, then the machine will produce any number of rings out of this pipe. Then of course, you'll use your hands to put on the ring on the bird.

THE FIFER Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 I think he is thinking about the machine and rings the RSPB use to ring wild birds etc.
