wing stamp ID rings and this year started putting TEL numbers on ETS rings had lots reported and helped home by fellow fanciers also a few reported dead by none fanciers none in stray basket so in my eyes they work

[paddymac]

I use a wingstamp on mine but have very few ever reported

[buster151]

Wing stamp and phone ring, not that it seems to make much difference as only ever had 3 reported

Haha if that is the case I need to go to spec savers Tony. Your birds always look immaculate mate. I reckon if local lads get your strays in they put em to stock.

i have used telephone rings for the last few years, this year ive had a stinker with the young birds however i have had lots of them reported even by non fanciers as well. One race i lost 6 on saturday, on the monday out of the 6 i had 5 reported.

For me the problem with wing stamps is if a non fancier gets the bird they will never think to open the wing and look for contact details.

 

I have used telephone number rings this year, I had one reported out of about 6 lost. So for me, the cost/hassle of getting/putting on the telephone rings was worth it.

 

First year racing next year, the only thing that puts me off the phone number rings is if it slows down getting the rubber off if they put it over it or above it.

I have Club wing stamp and also telephone rings and have never had a young bird reported lost 5 off the loft this year on the same night and never had any reported so might just go with a wing stamp next year.

[hawked again]

Wing stamped with phone number and a big pink dot under each wing and on rump. My daughter phoned me from the A96 just West of Nairn to tell me she could see the dots so to expect 3 racers in the next 10 minutes. Sure enough they came on time as she said.

 

Started racing with 35, managed 5 races before the molt and have 23 left so am not sure if the dots helped with the Percy problem or not.

i have used "telephone number rings" for a few years now.i used a wingstamp in the past . very few get reported , yet the rings have paid for themselves 10 times or more. what cost the rings ?? = £18 a hundred ish ? i certainly value youngsters a minimum £30 each ,and more .a no brainer for me .

Put your phone number ring on the life ring leg - there is enough room, then it doesn't interfere with a race rubber

Ask the ringer to put the rubber on top of the phone number ring,no probs.
