Approximately 1 million birds each year are banded. Approximately 60,000 birds each year are recovered. By 1995, a total of 57 million birds had been banded, and 3 million recovered.

 

If you find a dead or injured wild bird with a band on it’s leg, or if you find a loose band, call toll-free to 1-800-327-BAND (2263) from anywhere in Canada, the United States and most parts of the Caribbean. You will need to give the band number, how, when and where the bird or band was found.
