Hello,
I have had one of my Senegal parrots over 21 years. He came to me as a full adult, from a bird store in San Diego, CA. I have tried to research his weird leg band in the past with no luck, and recently wanted to try again because I would really like to have some idea of how old he is. His band is a silver metal, closed band, with only the letters CJ engraved on it, and 3 numbers. I have no idea about the CJ. From what I've read about bands from many websites, they have at least 3 or more letters. I haven't read of any with only 2. CJ is not a US state. I looked up CJ avian breeders and found 2, but they are both in other countries and my understanding is if he was imported he would have a USDA code on his band as well. I read that even private import companies still use at least 3 letters. On the Leg Band Registry I also found a CJ Aviary but the registry says their bands are black and their code is CAJG. I've contacted them to try and double check. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!
