✅ SOLVED Tag of some kind?????

I originally thought this was a bird leg tag after cleaning dirt off it I see there is no seam. I am at a loss on what this is and what it was used for. I think it is aluminum.

I use the penny in the photos for size reference .

here is the writing:

I would guess it's a bird band. For what species of bird......
