Birds and animals are of great importance in the nature and economy of each country. However, in order to properly assess the beneficial and harmful activities of various animals, rationally organize the protection of fauna and hunting, it is necessary to know their way of life and migration. And how to keep track of a migratory bird? True, in summer it occupies a small "nesting" area, and it is quite easy to observe it at this time, but in autumn it flies thousands of kilometers away, crossing the borders of many states and entire continents.


Places where waterfowl congregate for molting or wintering have been known for a long time. But it was impossible to determine where the birds came from. Banding, one of the scientific research methods that allows us to find out where birds fly to for the winter, which ways they move, and how many years birds live in a natural environment, helped us solve this problem. So, using banding, it was found out that ducks inhabiting the northern and central parts of the European territory of the Soviet Union fly to winter in Western European countries — England, France and Italy, and from the more southern regions of our country — to the Balkan Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In Transcaucasia and Iran, waterfowl winter, inhabiting the Tyumen Region and Northern Kazakhstan in summer, and birds nesting in the Altai Territory fly to India.


With the help of banding, you can find out when the ducks begin to form pairs and how strong they are. For example, two whistling teals, a male and a female, were simultaneously ringed in England, in the county of Northamptonshire on February 12, 1951, and on April 12 they were killed with one shot during experimental shooting in the Lomonosovsky district of the Leningrad region.


Pintail ducks and black gullies with American rings are reported from the Chukchi Peninsula and Yakutia. To the south of these places and in Kamchatka, teals are found, marked in Japan. Ducks with rings worn in India nest in the south of Western Siberia. White-fronted geese, banded in England during wintering, pass through the Leningrad, Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions, they nest in the tundra of the European part of the USSR and on Novaya Zemlya. A village swallow with a ring "Zoo Pretoria" (South Africa) was caught in the Latvian SSR in the summer.


There is now almost no country in the world where bird banding is not carried out. In recent years, birds with rings from 19 countries have been captured on the territory of the USSR. The Bureau of Banding is currently receiving information about bird migration outside our country from scientific institutions and hunters from 39 countries.
