These pigeons are tough. I had one on my team last year after a toss it mustve hit a wire broke its leg on the band side like yours. I thought of cutting it off as well but i gave it some time. I didnt isolate the bird he stayed with the others he limped around for couple days maybe a week most? He healed up and I was able to rotate the band again freely. It was swollen like yours was as well. That bird ended being 1/3 returning back from our final 300 mile race out of what I had left on my team of 12 birds? I can't recall exactly.
That’s what I settled on and it’s looking better now. She is putting a little weight on it and the swelling has come down. Didn’t want to risk making it worse trying to cut off the band. I’ll keep watching it closely
Good videos. Interested in how the injured bird got along after the leg injury.
It healed
Yes, please remove the band from her leg. Get an X-ray to check for fracture. Start anti inflammatory for the swelling and antibiotic for infection.
Great job man I'm proud of you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Birds flying well, I have no advice on the injured bird, I hope someone can give you the proper advice. Good luck and Thanx for sharing.

Give it a couple days just rotate the band around a couple times a day,

Please, put her in a box for a week with food and water. Don't remove the band for now. If it's not healing take it to a veterinarian. Good luck
