Update: Seems I may have found a site that sells quail-sized bands (for pigeons): http://www.strombergschickens.com/product/Jiffy-Wing-Bands/pigeon-wing-bands

Heyas,
After much reading, I've decided to skip the zap straps, spiral & other leg banding methods for my future quail & go to wing bands aka patagial tags. I'd like to ask what sizes of wing bands you use for your own quail, if you do. I'm mostly interested in keeping basic Japanese Coturnix but out of curiosity I'm also curious what sizes you use for your other quail types if you have them.
Also, if you can link a website that sells the wing bands YOU use for your quail, I'd be most appreciative. This is not a thread discussing the virtues of leg bands or cons of wing bands. If they do/don't work for you, that's fine - just keep to the topic, please. Or press backspace if you can't think of anything positive to contribute. Thank you.
So far I've found Zips are most likely fit my needs. You can see them second from the top, here. The smallest size they have there is 2.75. I'm sure that'll be fine for Jumbo Coturnix, but what of regular Japanese Coturnix? Would you use them or have you been able to find a smaller wing tag online?
Thank you much for reading.^^
