I think you would have to go to an avian vet for that. It can be done, but only a vet can probably safely remove it.

Truly great information provided above.
Sadly, leg bands greatly increases the chances of being caught in any number of objects including the cage itself.
Today, most bands have little meaning beyond the use of the Breeder.
Very happy to hear that Bash has survived the happening with no ill effect.
It is possible that Bash may nap or sleep a bit more than normal over the next 24 hours.
