The 01 is written vertical. Can anyone tell me what age he is from this information? The band is also a pinkish colour. Thanks Edited October 25, 2013 by Karyn Link to comment

If so, purple rings were used in 2005 and 2011 (ring colours operate on a 6 year cycle). Other members can correct me if I'm wrong, but your budgie would appear to be a 2011 bird. 406 is the chick number for that particular breeder and WABC is the society that the breeder belongs to.

Thanks for the reply. Good to have an idea of how old he is. Link to comment
