There are two homing pigeon associations in Japan:
(1) First, the Japanese Dove Association, which means "Japan" in Roman, followed by six Arabic numerals; Due to the small number of members, there are no members of the Pigeon Association in some areas.
(2) First, the Japan Pigeon Association; Its anklet is the abbreviation of JPN, which means "Japan", with two abbreviations in the middle and five Arabic numerals behind it; This association has many members, all over Japan (except Okinawa Prefecture).
Most people in China belong to the second kind of association.
The picture above shows a pigeon of this association.

In 2002
Ka-Saitama Regional Alliance (according to the affiliation, the subordinate unit of the Japanese Pigeon Association is the region, the subordinate unit of the region is the alliance, and the subordinate unit of the alliance is the Federation.

06074—— Submit the foot ring number for unified formulation and issuance six months in advance. That is to say, every member who keeps homing pigeons reports the number of foot rings he needs to his own Federation according to his own breeding plan, and then the Federation reports it to the Federation and finally to the Japan Pigeon Association. Japan Pigeon Association will make unified supervision according to the number of reservations, and distribute them on June 65438+1 October1day of the following year. Therefore, if the number of anklets ordered by members is not enough, they will no longer be able to buy anklets printed with trade union letters from the Japan Pigeon Association.
In order to solve this situation, the Japanese Pigeon Association issued "ZA" or "ZB" anklets many years ago. Its anklet is the same in color and shape as other anklets, except that ZA and the anklet are directly issued by the Japan Pigeon Association. If a member runs out of anklets ordered, he can go directly to the Japan Pigeon Association or the nearest pet store to buy ZA or ZB anklets. This kind of anklet is also eligible for the competition. It is also the official anklet of Japanese homing pigeons. Therefore, it is possible for Japanese homing pigeons to wear ZA or ZB anklets.
In recent years, many homing pigeons with ZA or ZB anklets have been found in many magazines and homing pigeon lovers' homes in China. It is puzzling that all the Japanese homing pigeons in Chinese mainland market are ZA or ZA. According to the number of their anklets, the sources of their anklets are all pet shops all over Japan, and the buyers who registered these anklets are all from China. This behavior can be asserted that these homing pigeons bought anklets in Japan and then sent them back to China for processing. Because domestic pigeon fanciers don't know much about the situation abroad, there are not a few people who are deceived.
