There are many reasons for a clear identification of a bird with transponders
- According to the German law, protected parrot species have to be clearly identified
- Identification of a lost or stolen bird
- Assigning of the individual progenies to their parents
- Setting up unrelated pairs
- Controls of the state veterinarian or the responsible CITES Management Authority
- Reading of the transponder is possible from a distance of ca. 15- 20 cm, through a catching net and the bottom of a transport box
- Much safer than leg bands: no possibility of injuries on the legs
- Good tissue tolerance if the microchip is implanted correctly - at the right location under anaesthesia by an experienced veterinarian
- Cannot be manipulated if implanted correctly
- Implantation is possible in birds with body weight of 80 g and more
By now there are leg bands with incorporated microchips available. Please contact us!
