ok just found another couple of web sites
one say's use a size 9. another says to use a size M (4.34mm) ring then on the next line it says use a size N (5.33mm) ring d'oh!

then on another site it says use a Size M.

Just remember Google is your friend. <v>

5,4 mm is the accepted size for reds in Europe. 4,5 mm is the size for yellow crowns.

You can try a bird club or breeders association. Aviornis sells bands too but only to subscribers (20€/yr)
There's a Portuguese company http://www.anilhas.com/site/index.php?lang=eng that also sells them, but shipping may be expensive. You may be able to find similar ones in certain dedicated pet shops.
