L & M BIRD LEG BANDS, INC. P.O. Box 2636 SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92406 U.S.A. TEL: (909) 882-4649 / FAX: (909) 882-5231 BAND SIZE GUIDE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS IS ONLY TO BE USED AS A GUIDELINE TO HELP YOU DECIDE Here are some suggestions as to which of our bands will fit each bird given below. If the type of bird you need to band isn't on this list, try to find one on the list with a comparable sized leg. Please, keep in mind, these are only suggestions. We accumulated this information by asking our customers what they have used on their birds. Each breeder has their own preference as to how they like the bands to fit. Some like them to fit loosely, others prefer a close fit. Birds of the same kind can vary and some breeders band a little later with a larger size than one that would fit at an earlier age. all this should be taken into consideration when choosing a size and this is also the reason why we cannot specify an exact size for each bird. Use your best judgment and decide what is best for your birds.
