NBRC Convention Banded Birds

[BBRedCigar]

Hello,

A friend gave me some NBRC Convention banded birds. Three to be exact. One has Portland, Oregon--DFW, Tx-- Denver, Co. What do these bands mean? Who banded them? Were they some sort of auction birds?? I would like to know the story behind these birds. Thanks in advance!

NBRC stands for "National Birmingham Roller Club". Is that all the bands say, or do they have any numbers?

Asking on their forum may get you some good answers. I'm not a member and I've only raised rollers, no competition for me, so I don't know a whole lot about NBRC.

Mary,

Thanks for your response. I'm fimilar with the NBRC bands, but never seen ones that reads:

NBRC Convention
Denver, Co
NBRC 2006 F 59

A regular band reads more like this

NBRC 09 FO 495

I emailed the NBRC band secretary. I'm waiting to hear back from him.

Thanks
Ralph
