Ringing parrots is a practice that involves placing a special ring with a unique number on the leg of a parrot. It is typically done when the parrot is young and still growing, as it is easier to put the ring on a smaller leg.

To ring a parrot, the bird is first gently caught and held securely, but not tightly, to prevent injury. The leg is then carefully examined to determine the size of the ring needed and to ensure that it will fit properly. Once the appropriate size ring has been selected, it is placed on the leg and secured in place. It is important to handle the parrot with care and to make sure that the ring is not too tight or too loose, as this could cause discomfort or injury to the bird. Ringing parrots is often done by breeders to keep records of the breeding and to identify individual birds, but it may also be done by bird rehabilitation centers or wildlife organizations to track the movements and habits of wild parrots.
