   • How do we catch birds?  

Bird-ringing involves catching birds, securing a small metal ring around one of their legs, and ideally recording the bird's species, age, sex, wing length, and weight. Rings have a reference code inscribed on them that allows that particular bird to be uniquely identified if it is caught again in the future. Bird-ringing can also reveal how bird behaviors are changing because of shifts in the world around them.
In this video, we did how the ringing process occurs including taking measurements such as the wing measurement, and tale measurement, among others.
The main focus of bird-ringing is to gather ‘demographic’ data. Our bird populations are influenced by a complex interplay of causes, including:
• the number of offspring produced per brood
• number of broods per year
• fledging rate
• survival rate of juveniles
• survival rate of adults
Bird-ringing, alongside other surveys and data, helps us to build up a picture of each population and whether they're struggling or thriving.
This was done in Cape town, South Africa.
Thanks for watching and feel free to comment.
Cheers
