(think dog-harness on a small dog, they wiggle out of those easier than you think unless they are done up "properly")
Nothing is every perfectly secure - at least one of our peregrines managed to get a band off - metal with two rivets (before my time, but I've seen the photos).

Actually we have never observed any of them (adults or chicks) paying any additional attention to their bands. We see them cleaning their feet all the time and the feathers along their legs and occasionally see them cleaning "bits" out from under their bands. When we catch banded birds, their legs and feet are clean and fine.

No, we can't put the nestbox back out until the work is finished. And the work is continuing, it's just taking a long, long time. Originally I heard it would only be for a year, now I've heard anecdotally that it will take longer than a year. I hope to find out more information from management when I talk to them later in the summer.
