tong po 129 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ive a 6 inch wide spar with mesh on either side so theres no chance of a spar pulling a bird through Like I said jjm I'll build a front porch when aviaries are empty,just need an idea on how to stop him in the meantime.I've put some pigeon netting across the front as a temp measure but he still has a go frightening the shit out of them.i need to try and stop him coming in the garden with some kind of deterrent.

taz2010 1,297 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 when i only had aviarys i use to put 6" nails round the frame then tie fishing line round the nails leaving the line 3" of the mesh in all patterns once he got tangled he never came back 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slip lead 862 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Probably juveniles,get a big roll of plastic sheeting,and staple to the side which receives the most hits, this helps stop the attacks, I do the same in winter if the weather gets below -1 for long periods,it's best to leave one side free.

tong po 129 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks for the advice lads I've put so pigeon netting up as a temp deterant and a couple of balloons around the garden which seems to have done the trick,now off to build that safety porch....

morton 5,368 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Either double wire the aviary,screen it with garden mesh or ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
