We've had many calls this year when birds have escaped due, mainly, to the warm weather when windows and doors get left open.  I've had grown men in tears over their lost birds.  It is bad enough when a bird is lost, but equally so, when the owner of a found bird can't be traced.  Well, there is a very simple answer, and that is micro-chips.  In the next issue (September) there will be an article on micro-chipping, and how this product can positively identify a bird following recovery from theft or escape.  You can read the story I was involved in, when an expensive and traumatic court case could have been avoided.  The September issue will be in the shops on 18th August and to subscribers sooner. Don't miss it!
