Does anyone perhaps know why almost all choughs have rings on their little legs and who rings them and how.

I don't know if it's allowed, but if you won't talk around, I'll tell you: that's how we distinguish native, indigenous, so to speak our jackdaws from disloyal hangers-on, which are becoming more numerous because mountaineers, hikers, alpinists, off-trailers, and excursionists are their main source of food. These hangers-on (unringed) differ from our Jackdaws also in that they haven't been to Triglav yet and don't caw in assembly Slovenian.
They are ringed at birth or hatch with rings. If they don't have rings then, or if they accidentally have more than three, parents send them to UK h Orlom. We have no data on how they fare there.
Other, more likely theory says that udba thus collects data on the visitation of individual peaks - jackdaws supposedly stay where there's better food and if they get ham, they don't like bread. Udba will forward the data long-term to interested tycoons for path privatization or, in some places, for building self-service bivouacs.

Yeah, this one is by far the best of the day 
Bravo to the author of the "native explanation" for the excellent essayistic explanation. Can I "like" it?

The third theory says that the human soul after the death of the body moves into another living being, in short, reincarnates. Depending on the merits in the previous life, it reincarnates into a higher or lower form of life. According to my humble explanation, choughs are reincarnated people who in their previous life did not hike enough in the mountains. It must be so, as now they are punished by hanging around the peaks they didn't dare to climb in their previous life, and are sentenced to begging for crumbs. According to this explanation, reincarnated choughs with rings would be those who were married in their previous life, but after marriage stopped going to the mountains. How to get such rings - there are many theories about that, but they can be obtained even without theory.
Mountain choughs without rings could be those frustrated souls who in previous lives didn't try hard enough for a nice self-image and built it on mocking others.
But the theory has - I admit - one big inconsistency: if being a chough is a punishment, what did those poor souls have to do to be rewarded with flying?

. . . let me whisper . . . I heard . . . that only males are ringed, if I may call them that
. . . and furthermore, they say, those who diligently went to the mountains in their previous life . . . those reincarnated as marmots 
And let me add, if someone doesn't know, the first thing a marmot does after waking from winter sleep is mating . . . that's the one in pairs . . . and yes, marmots are not ringed
