Competition ring for pigeons and apparatus for ringing pigeons with said ring

摘要

For computing the flight results of competition pigeons, an apparatus (40) is proposed for providing a vane strip (12) around a pigeon's foot (21), which carries in non-visible manner the secret competition number of the pigeon.;The apparatus (40) has cooperating rollers (41,42), whereby the strip (12) is provided around the foot (21). The vane strip (12) may carry the number on its interior side, which is covered by a cover sheet (26). The number may also be provided in bar code (29), readable by a reading pen (61), connected to a microprocessor. The apparatus (40) may be built into a single housing together with a vane strip issuing (15) and a reading device (50).;The pigeon may also carry a footring having a built-in IC containing the data.
