My Grey, has a ring, which he's had since he was a baby, and I remember the
breeder telling me that his DOB was indicated. Maybe it is, but it must be
in some kind of secret bird code. So, my question is, in the UK, what info
is there on the ring?

Thanks

All my non-wild-caught parrots have rings with a year on them. Simply 02 or something somewhere in the code, seperated from the rest of it, which identifies the breeder, and a serial number.

A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter."
Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, "I'm Jane Sugarbrown."
The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, "Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?"
She replied, "I thought I was, but mother says I'm not."

Not all rings indicate a breeder (huckers ignorance shows again). Rings can
simply have ring size which is a letter, a number eg 1-10 and date 06. The
ring will have as an example 1.M.06. The ring can also be different colours
depending where you buy them from. British Bird Council rings are brown, IOA
rings are silver. Both these suppliers are government approved UK. You can
buy rings from other suppliers and have what you want on them within reason.
