    Banded 4/23/24

    I banded this Feb 6th born male on 4/23/24 ( little over 2-1/2 months old) and tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Is there something I need to do or just wait a few more days. The banding went well and they have dried up considerably but still have not dropped off. They appear stiff when walks off from you.
