Band Question

[JohnBoy]

I just noticed that the new male Gould I bought last week has a red band on one leg and a black on the other. Is this a code about the genetics or something??

Unless it has numbering from one of the official bird/finch societies, then its just breeder preference.

I agree - there is no "colour code" anywhere that I'm aware of. If it's not engraved then it's up to the breeder as to what colour he puts on which leg.

Thanks!
