Don't worry too much, videos are subjective & result in a lot of 1/2 truths. Nice healthy babie this one, good plumage starting, if it is 7 day old. Tossdart

@amythemayo .

Puedes utilizar una liga. Enrredala en la pata del pichón, cuando ya sientas fríos los dedos...sueltala inmediatamente y recorre el anillo hasta donde estaba la liga. Repite el procedimiento las veces que sea necesario hasta que logres anillarlo. Ayuda que un día previo no le des a beber agua, así deshidratado el pichon su pata se adelgazara sera más facil llevra a cabo el procedimiento.

does anyone know any tricks on how to get a ring on an old bird pigeon?

I still prefer my method. Like I said the pigeon in my vid is too big as I waited for second order of bands in mail. That bird needs to be flown now as an old bird & is a yearling. His feet were ginormous. Normally they just sit in my hand & I use thumb & index a lot to pull thumb toe through. Everyone has their own method but babie feels safe in hand & does not pull or stuggle & legs normally sit forward in bowl. If you notice the bird I band is actually supported by my palms & fingers.
