  • Name of species of the bird, if known
  • Full number and address written on the band (sometimes the address is on the inside of the band), or a description of the color markings or flags
  • Date and place where the animal was found
  • Your name and address (so you will know where and when the animal was banded

If the animal is alive and healthy, please record the above details (including type of species) and release the animal with the band still attached. If the animal is dead, the band should be removed, flattened and returned with the recovery details.
