Can someone tell Irene the guy bands the girl, not the other way around.
We hope to see a "band" on Irene next time we see you Chris.

I just rebanded 2 birds today.
Moved the light green band from the left leg to the right leg (family indicator)
Put a red band on the left leg (year of birth or estimated year of birth indicator)
The male accepted the bands w/o problem.
The female accepted the green band moved to the right leg, but keeps on picking at the new red band on the left leg. In this case the new color band is bothering her, not the band on a leg that was not banded before.
