Note that bird recognition is secondary to becoming a TBO volunteer. Also, the tasks assigned during bird banding will depend on the time and the number of birds captured (the priority being the good health of the birds). Finally, for technical reasons, we request a minimum of 10 days of volunteering for people with little or no experience handling birds.
