AFA Open Stainless Steel Band Pliers

Special band applicator pliers are required to properly apply and close the band. AFA offers this tool for $45.00 per size pliers needed (each size band requires a separate set of pliers). If you only need them one time, you can return them to the AFA and receive a $10.00 refund and a tax donation letter valued at $30.00. This helps other members as the pliers are difficult to make.

All AFA Legbands are traceable back to the purchaser. We recommend you be a member to assist customers in finding information about their birds.

The American Federation of Aviculture offers open leg bands made from 300 series stainless steel - the same as what is currently being used by USDA quarantine stations.

Please note: Individual states may have their own banding requirements for exotic birds. AFA cannot guarantee that these bands comply with those requirements. Each aviculturist should independently verify these requirements.
