Could the JA be January and then the year 2019?? The numbers on the ring usually denote the year, and as samwiseg says a black ring denotes the year 2019 anyway.

Its weird. The ring is a dark brown definitely. Its a closed ring too. My usual breeder says that people can order personalised ones now too so they can have what they want on them. Shirls he is not that old. 3 months tops so wouldn't be born in January. His cere is still purple/pink. By the way we are warming to Archie as a name. Thoughts?

Archie is a lovely name! Also is it weird that I find leg rings on birds rather cute?

Going to wade in here regarding the ring - some breeders, a lot actually, from what I gather use rings for their individual purpose, and will mean something only to the particular breeder - hatch number for the season, breeding lines, and yeah the initials could well be the breeder's initials, colour can be breeder's choice, possibly for a particular year. Birds that are (possibly) going to be exhibited need to be rung with the Society's registered rings so that true providence can be established.

Yes I know they can not be allowed to show without ring identification. To be honest I am just curious for info about his birth date etc. I may never know.
