a ibr ring will have ibr on it plus phone and id number. a breeders will have the breeders name on it and hatch year IE (1smith08) if it hasn't got a ibr ring go on the ibr website and register it they will send a split ring it will cum in handy if u lose it

I think its very sad for the Falconry World when individuals like you obtain a Harris Hawk.

If you cant read or decipher the basis details on a ring, then how on earth do you hope to successfully fly a harris at quarry.

It beggars belief.

 

If you posted this same message on the IFF you,d be slated !!

Get yourself a mentor for the birds sake, PLEASE !!

Thats a bit harsh Scooby

granted he could do with a mentor but just because he did not know about the rings doesnt mean he wont be able to care for and fly the bird.

 

I find the Falconry World a little sad in the way that it closes ranks very quickly on new comers

 

Maybe you should be speaking with the falconer that sold him the bird.

 

collie if you want any help or advise then PM me and I will try and answer any questions you may have

If you contact ibr mate they will probably tell you age and any ways you will need to re register it anyway mucker get the number off the blue ring or go here and have a look what you have to do quite straight forward
