Plummage Dye - DownUnder?!?!

From:Bruce Abaloz <b.abaloz@zoology.unimelb.edu.au>

Dear Histonetters,

My name is Melissa, and I'm a researcher at the University of Melbourne,Australia, with a novel problem.  We need to colour-mark seabirds (specifically gannets), with a plumage dye that will last 4-6 months, and withstand regular dunking in sea water whenever the birds are foraging. We want to apply the dye just once (no touch ups) at the beginning of the breeding season to minimise disturbance to the birds.  Dye colour is not an issue, so long as it's readily visible against white plumage (so darker colours would be best).

Many thanks in advance for your help!

cheers,
Melissa.
