Can leg band be removed?

[Robert Gift]

Does it annoy the bird in any way?
No problem noticed.
But if I record the data, can the leg band be removed. I would keep it.

Thank you.

Leg bands can be removed yes! If its not bothering the bird, its up to you if you want it removed. I don't like them because I had issues in the past with them...

My avian vet removed the band without any problems. I would never try myself.

Does he have a special tool, like my fire department's ring cutter?
