guy at a local club gave his birds a hot bath [realy hot on day of basketing ]when he took his birds to club 20% had rings missing and loads had to be clipped back together -just a thought.

these chips lock onto rings its never happen 5 chips they have been removed cause ther was 2 birds that had chips but ther marker rings wer off and they do not slip off maybe who ever done this though they wher chips i am in a funny wee club

when i was basketing my birds for training last week i had to push one ets chip back into the life ring. I am saving the clip on ets rings for my young birds but all old birds have the insert ets rings. Wether my bird banged its leg i dont know but i will be checking them from now on. I hope your not right about it happening at the club we dont need that sort of behaviour, keep us informed if you find anything out. All the best ... Les
