Thanks Carly-does the antenna just fall off Carly? (shelf life)
( Been gone/missing the last few weeks or since Fall?)

Wow, so it's finally fallen off. Was it still transmitting?
Great that it's confirmed that we still have Quest here.

I suddenly realised that I have no idea how Kendall is doing, is there any news about him after the last message back in January?

Yes it was designed to do just that and should have a few years ago but they used some red nail polish to glue it - it was quite a surprise to see it on there for so long! I am relieved it's gone to be honest, I was always scared she'd get caught up on something or in case of a fight another bird could grab it and do her harm.

So yay for finally falling off. Super glue people take note..nail polish is da bomb! :hollaugh:

But..is the harness gone too or did the antenna break off at the bent area?
Mexican Red was the nail polish color for those who want a really long lasting color! :hollaugh:

Mexican Red - On my socking (Christmas ) list :bsanta:

The 2nd paragraph of Quest's banding story explains why the nail polish was used to hold the harness:

I too have been watching this nest for a few days wondering who in the heck these two birds were. I cannot tell you how glad I am that Quest is finally free of that transmitter.

:bsanta:

And now there is a new male too, it seems.
