Colour Band - field identification chart
Two styles of colour bands are used on Peregrines by the VPP. The first group pictured below are stainless steel which are issued by the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Schemes' office in Canberra. These are powder coated by one of our sponsors Silcraft in Mt Waverley. The colour of these allows us to identify the year of birth of a bird. The second group are anodised aluminium bands specially made by Acraft and imported from Edmonton, Canada. The combination of the codes and colours identify who the individual is.
