Answer 2

From a wiki article:

Anillamiento de aves

El anillamiento es una ayuda para el estudio de aves salvajes, añadiéndoles un pequeño anillo numerado de metal o plástico a sus patas o alas, de forma que distintos aspectos de la vida del ave se pueden estudiar gracias a la posibilidad de reencontrar al mismo individuo.

I think a helpful clue might be that that this is called bird ringing as well as bird banding. Anillar seems to be the verb. (at least in this article on ringing/banding pigeons.)
