Ringing is always an enjoyable activity: the chicks have survived their first critical phase and are starting to grow their first feathers. Rings are usually supplied by the club or federation to which you are affiliated. They state the name of the organization, the breeding year and a serial number.
As of 2015, the Roller Canary Society's ring color follows the European (COM) six-year color cycle: 2015 violet, 2016 orange, 2017 dark blue, 2018 red, 2019 black, 2020 pastel green.
