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

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!

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 under
