http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww5eiii.htm

Extractions: There are a number of reasons why identification of a bird is important. These include proof of ownership, governmental requirements, identification of lost or stolen birds, and tracking of birds for breeding purposes. The ability to identify a bird also acts as a deterrent to smugglers and the illegal bird trade. Thus it has a positive impact on saving birds in their natural environments. The most widely accepted means of identification of birds today is the leg band. Microchipping and DNA fingerprinting are alternative methods which are gaining in popularity. Many people prefer these newer methods for a variety of reasons. However at this time, the leg band is required by many governmental organizations. For this reason, it is important to understand as much about banding as possible. This article will discuss the different types of bands, the reasons for their use, the issue of band removal and the methods of tracing a band. It is intended to present information so that bird owners can make their own informed decisions.

http://www.ankn.uaf.edu/UNITS/birdslesson3.html

Extractions: This document has been OCR scanned Lesson 3 Identifying Local Birds Objectives: 1) Students will develop their powers of observation and their ability to make inferences by looking for birds and bird signs. 2) Students will collect and interpret data about local birds and identify birds both by learning the practices of their elders and by use of field guides and other written sources. 3) Students will name and cite identifying characteristics of at least 10 birds which are found locally. Notes on Bird Identification Birds were a very important part of the natural world for Interior Athabascans in times past. Game birds formed a necessary part of their diet and in times of starvation even the smaller birds helped the people survive. Many birds had other important functions as well. (See Lesson 7). For these reasons and also because birds were believed at one time to have had human form, they were highly respected and the indigenous people of Alaska had a detailed knowledge of the birds and their habits. Do not be surprised, however, if elders and other community members do not know the local birds by the names found in bird books. They may call them by a descriptive name in English such as "big-eye bird" or "black chicken" or they may know them only by their Native names.
