Split/Open Stamped Stainless Steel Leg Bands
Currently only 8mm, 10mm, and 11mm are available, other sizes will become available based on demand. All sizes other than 10mm are short. These bands are stamped, not laser-engraved. The main benefit of stamping is that stamped bands are more rust-resistant than laser-engraved bands. If you have waterfowl or live in a very humid or marine environment we strongly recommend getting stamped bands. Smaller band sizes are not able to be stamped at this time.
These are split bands which are put on birds older than 10-14 days. Most sizes are applied with special pliers, which you can find here: https://americanbirdbands.com/collections/band-closing-pliers
Because larger bands can be difficult to open, we recommend using Multi-Band Opening Pliers for sizes 8mm and larger: https://americanbirdbands.com/products/multi-band-opening-pliers-free-shipping
