Order NFSS bird bands. Split plastic or closed aluminum bands shipped by U.S.Postal Service/First Class mail.

NFSS offers to (members only) closed traceable aluminum closed bands in the color of the year. Bands engraved with the initials "NFS", size code, year & number.

All orders are recorded for permanent reference. Bands are ordered in strings of ten bands (10), all of the same size. Banding instructions are included with your order. Bands are $5.00/string and a shipping/handling charge per total order. (Aluminum and plastic band order can be combined.) DO NOT combine multiple year closed bands on same order. Those orders should be separate.

"The banding and marking of wild birds is very tightly regulated by the federal government. It is illegal to use ANY band on a bird that is released to the wild except a federal band issued by US Fish and Wildlife."
