I'm assuming that the date listed on the website is current for this year, since the auction sales are always on Saturday and March 18 is a Saturday in 2017.

I think Tom is after that human contact thing
I buy them from berry Hill, but have actually run out of different colours to buy now.
I colour code the years, so I can tell at a glance who is who without catching the bird, but if you need more then one band on some birds to distinguish separate "families" shortage of colours becomes a problem really fast.
