Colour code

The birds of this project have 4 rings. Two on each lower leg. One of the rings is a metal ring that is part of the code.

The color code consists of 4 consecutive elements:

  1. the letter of the colour of the upper ring on the left leg
  2. the letter of the colour of the lower ring on the left leg
  3. the letter of the colour of the upper ring on the right leg
  4. the letter of the colour of the lower ring on the right leg

Example WMOR. This bird has a white color ring with a metal ring underneath on the left leg and on the right leg an orange ring with a red ring underneath.
