Does anyone have a legring chart to show the size of closed legrings required for different species of birds?
Specifically I would like to know what size to buy for the Alexandrines I hope to breed this year but it would be handy to know the sizes for other birds too.
thanks,
Jen

Yeah Thanks but I really wanted to know what size to use on Alex's but in numbers not letters.
I think the ringnecks are a ten from memory so I am guessing the Alex's might be a twelve. can anyone confirm this for sure.
Cheers

No sorry I don't. These are the only birds they had listed.
I would hate to guess for you and suggest the wrong size as I have never bred conures.
A sun conure is the only bird I have ever seen at someone elses avairy that had squeezed his ring flat. It was very lucky i happened to notice and we quickly got it off before any damage had been done. For this reason I would suggest a stainless steel ring might be the best way to go.
