Hi guys,

How do you obtain a breeder code?

Thanks!

Do You mean finding out whose code is on your birds band or having a breeder code for yourself? If you want a code for yourself you can just pick one you like. A lot of people will use the initials of their aviary.

Well it all depends upon the society you are a member of. Many societies assign a breeder code to you such as ABS - American Budgerigar Society. These bands are registered with that society and are traceable back to the breeder.

You can buy generic bands through L&M Band Company or Red Bird Band Company and make up any breeder code you want, but the bands are not traceable if anyone would like to come back to you to buy more birds.
