I hope they are OK or I have an awful lot of illegal rung birds!!:confused: The size on them is as per DEFRA recommendation and they are the heavyweight Bird of Prey type. We always put the two male and female rings on one leg and two different size Phone number rings on the other. This lets us use a cable tie to put a bell attached to the ring and on the other I have a home made telemetry mount also cable tied on also to the ring, after we have cut off the incorrect ring size.:supz:
