Okay guys, I'm striking out at my local dollar stores for butterfly nets. So I'm looking for some bird/butterfly net recommendations. How wide of a "mouth" do you tend to prefer on your nets? Is a deeper net a better bet?
The attached net is a 14" mouth, at 48" net length. Extendible from 18"-32"... Feeling like that might be a better option for use in aviaries, but feels a bit excessive for catching birds in a cage.
Does anyone have brand recommendations? Links? Pictures? A dollar store that doesn't require that I order a case of 24? (Seriously, don't need that many nets.)
Appreciate any help or advice y'all can give me!

My favorite net has a mouth of 10" and depth of 12". It's a butterfly net I picked up at a garden center. The wire is fairly soft, so I can squish the mouth together a bit to get it through some of the smaller doors. The handle is only 15" long - perfect cage size.
