I'm not sure but I think you can order them though the london caged bird club as well as the avicultural advancement council of canada (AACC), as well as DL products in the US.

I am pretty sure with closed bands you slip them over the foot at around 9 days, it's just open bands that need the special tool.

nope no tool needed you apply it around 9 days old and slip it on like a ring

Sometimes though they're leg is too small and it will fall right back off, So you try again the next day and the next until it stays on

and there are some that even at 9 days old its a bit hard to get on, you just put a little Vaseline on the leg and it'll slide on


I used to have a site book marked that showed exactly how to do it, I can't find it right now but as soon as i do i'll post it on here
