Micro-chipping

Parrots magazine September 2011

 How a simple and cost effective procedure can save much trauma and give peace of mind – John Catchpole explains

With the increase in thefts and loss of all animals, micro-chipping has, without doubt, become the most effective way of identification to aid recovery. And birds need to be accurately identified, not only for when they are recovered after being stolen, but also when being found after escaping.

This can cause some sadness with the finder as they are often anxious to find the owner, fully realising that someone has lost a loved companion.
