Great information, I was just checking out leg bands yesterday.

My ring size list is a bit different to this one , as you said its just a guide but buyer beware ...check the size chart or ask for help when buying leg rings .

Too big and too small = disaster .

Example

N=Red Rumps
However where I buy mine
MA = adult Red Rump

I get mine from Lentra .

Good guide though

I have been using the Nation Finch and Softbill Society (NFSS) of America for leg band sizing help. They also have a alphebetical size as listed by 'Buzzard-1' but, more importantly they have a size in mm to two decimal places (eg. Size G - 2.89mm), as well as the species list. I have found if you can provide the company supplying you with a size in mm as well as a species to be banded the are often much happier.
