Avian Identification legbands or rings are required if a breeder intends to enter birds in a cage bird show and, in some locals, are required for birds sold in pet stores.

The Mini Drinker is a small water fountain originally designed to ensure that cage birds being exhibited had a constant water supply. The drinkers are small and do not interfere with the view of a judge and, therefore. do not requirw removal while the birs are being judged.
