" For all New Members:
Please, I would also like to ask the previous members as well, to review the links appropriate to their membership...if they are breeders please ensure you breeder code is in its place and if you are searching please ensure your information is in place as well. These things are important if I am to keep the group in an organized fashion and to ensure there is no loss of data. I do backup everything as well in the case Yahoo crashes some day...:) Breeders or Those looking for breeders if you are unsure how to place your data just email to the group or me privately and I will place your information accordingly..My email mystify@cogeco.ca. Please feel free to invite other breeders to join or submit their data with their permission for them.
First I would like to thank the new members for joining as this is a major contribution to that which we love so much :Our Feathered Friends. This group is about knowing your feathered friends roots, it is about helping to re unite lost ones with their owners, there are so many benefits to having a group such as this. As a breeder myself I carry that love into the group and try my best although I have now been forced into retired breeding and boy does that hurt...I miss my babies so much. Information about the different databases are below now keep in mind if you are not already logged into your account then you will be prompted for your id and password when you click the below links
I have different links available for members of the group and members that are joining.
1. Record Pet Bands-Sometimes we misplace or forget our bird's bands and some never realize the importance until the bird is lost and another finds your bird and your band code could prove identify. It is this reason I have encourage the use of this database which can be accessed by going to
2. Breeder Registries-One day I hope to be the largest resource for helping Birds, Breeders, Pet Owners Alike. A valuable resource in helping our feathered friends in more ways than one. You can submit your breeder information at the appropriate link below , or send to the group or even send to me privately and I will send to the database for you. If you chose to enter on your own the link is
3. Bands Need Tracing-This is where the members searching for a particular band code have submitted their band code and information. I try to find as many as I can and have taken as long as a year in the past to trace a band. I do encourage all members to periodically search this area as they might recognize the breeder code, one that has not yet been traced....also it ensures that everyone who is searching has a submission of that band code in place. This link can be reached
4. I have also now started a Bird Society Bands Section so please feel free if you know of a Club to add to the list at this link
Also for those with websites, there is a link section that you can place your website link on if you like on the left side of the Yahoo Leg-Band Group Home Page
Thanks for helping this group work."
