Double wiring?
Hi, I've been considering building a double door flight in the backyard and I was wondering, apart from the incredibly small wire space, and the metre high barrier, do I need to double wire? I don't want to lose any birds due to stupidity

Re: Double wiring?
I'll let Kenny, Dan, and Wildbill from Australia answer this, as they are all Australians and can help you better with protecting yourself from Australian wildlife. I would rat/snake-proof the aviary (if that is possible) and think of including a trap door or safety door to prevent birds from accidentally flying out when you enter and exit your aviary. Good luck and welcome! 

God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored.

Re: Double wiring?
That's what I meant by double door, sorry I should've elaborated a bit. And I'm pretty sure that to rat and snake proof an aviary you have a boundary of 1 metre high all the way around and no gap that's 1 cm2 in the mesh? Oh and the concrete for the floor so no vermin can dig underbugaboo5 wrote:I'll let Kenny, Dan, and Wildbill from Australia answer this, as they are all Australians and can help you better with protecting yourself from Australian wildlife.
