Santa Clara Bird Club Canary Band Information

Canary bands are available to our club members in lots of 10. Band prices for 2009 are $7.50 per string of 10, shipping included. Note the smaller quantity size this year, make sure you order enough!

Paper Order Form (print and mail with check or money order)

The bands are metal and seamless, they can only be put on when the bird is a small chick (6-8 days old) and cannot be transfered. The band color changes each year and rotates through this order: blue, silver, orange, purple, green, red. The color for 2009 is red.

The bands have our club code SC and the year, eg. 09. Bands for the new year are not available until January and will not be mailed until then even if you order early. The standard canary band colors are used each year. These are generic canary bands for registering your birds with our club. If your bird is ever lost or stolen, it might be traced back to you if found. A club code has a better chance of being traced than a private code you might custom order for yourself. Our club buys bands in large quantities, so buying from us will save you money and allow you to buy a small amount, plus support our club!

Our club bands do not indicate the breed of canary, so if there is a society for your breed that issues species-specific bands, you should consider ordering those instead.

Check our list of Avian Societies and Groups. To learn more about bird bands, read Ginger Wolnik's article: Interpreting Bird Bands. If you are not already a member for the year you are ordering bands for, include a Membership Application. One check can be written for membership and your band order. For questions about your club band order, contact Jose Ozuna, Club Band Secretary  (209) 810-4915
