What size steel and wire mesh should I use in building a suspended aviary?
Firstly let me introduce myself; my name is David Fitch and I live in Townsville. I have kept birds for many years, mainly finches, budgies and peachfaces. I have just read your very informative article on suspended aviaries. As I am planning to build some, could you answer the following question please?. What size steel should I use for the frame, and what size wire mesh? I purchased five pairs about 6 months ago and they are housed in 3-metre-square aviaries. I was going to divide the aviaries into flights, but have been considering suspended aviaries for some time. My aim is to have suspended aviaries throughout the garden, and a large flight 6mt x 3mt x 2mt to house the birds when not breeding. As well as cockatiels I have a pair of princesses, and I plan to get other compatible parrots in the near future. Many thanks, David.
