Bird Ringing and other marking methods used to study wild birds
Bird ringing is a technique used to study wild birds. By attaching a small individually numbered metal or plastic ring, various aspects of the birds' life including habitats, distribution, population dynamics and patterns of movements or migration can be studied. This technique is currently undertaken in Hong Kong by a trained group of experts (called "bird ringers"). Other techniques for studying wild birds including radio-tracking and satellite-tracking will also be discussed. The speaker will introduce the way of studying birds by these different techniques and will share a broad view with regard to the implications to the conservation of wild birds in Hong Kong and beyond.
