ABSTRACT:
A carrier pigeon receives a ring with an electronic transponder which for competition timekeeping can be interrogated when the pigeon arrives at the pigeon loft, by means of a high-frequency field, in order to be able to store the arrival time, associated with that individual pigeon, and later evaluate it for lists of winners. In addition the pigeon carries a conventional ring (which therefore cannot be in any case automatically read off), with the registration number of its organization. There is no relationship between those two sets of data (electronic identity number and conventional organization number), which can confuse and irritate the breeder when associating his pigeons. Therefore, a table is additionally fed into the operating device for contact-less high-frequency interrogation of the identity carrier, in which table the identity numbers and the organization numbers of the pigeons are associated with each other. The display then does not display the electronically detected identity number of the pigeon which has just arrived, but the conventional organization number which is read out of the storage table for that purpose and with which the breeder is more familiar.
