Bird Leg Band ID (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Found this pink (maybe bird) band on the shore of Lake Superior. It's light pink, and approximately 2 1/4 inch in diameter. It reads (from left to right), 0005355 KBLLT MI-4 2012. I don't know if this, along with the pictures attached is enough to ID the bird it came from or not. Thanks

(I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, and I apologize if it is not)

Not sure what it's from, but it doesn't look like anything used on birds - any bird with a leg with the diameter to fit it would be able to rip off a soft plastic item like that very easily.

I'd guess perhaps a sales identity tag for some consumer goods or other?
 
Thanks Nutcracker. Some research done suggests possibly Canada Goose, but having no past experience with bird bands leaves me as no expert. I didn't know if it was fish tag or not either.
