Split Aluminum Leg Bands

Please note that when closed, the inner diameter (ID) of the bands is reduced by about .5mm.

These are split bands which are put on birds older than 10-14 days. These are applied with special pliers, which you can find here: https://americanbirdbands.com/collections/band-closing-pliers. Extra-thin bands can be opened and closed by hand.

Some bands specify whether they are "Tall" or "Short". Some breeders prefer short bands, especially for birds with stubby legs. Others may prefer tall bands because they are easier to read and can accommodate two lines of text. 

Most sizes are available in purple, green, gold, red, blue, black, brown and orange.
