Starling (Sturnus unicolor)
Bird ringing data are useful in both research and management projects. Individual identification of birds makes possible studies of dispersal and migration, behavior and social structure, life-span and survival rate, reproductive success and population growth.
Many birds are ringed as chicks in nests but fully-grown birds have to be caught using a variety of nets and traps. Whatever the catching method, ringers are carefully trained to ensure the safety of the birds they ring.
