Hi Again,
The cage wire I ordered for my Aviary has been back ordered and won't be in again for 3 months. I've had a bad experience with 1"x1" wire. I had a cockatiel put his head out one hole then back in the hole above it. He was stuck. I had to cut wire to free him. I found 3/8" black heavy PVC hex netting but I wonder if they will just chew it? has anyone tried it? the other thing I wondered about is 1" x 2" wire. I don't think they would get stuck but could they escape through this opening? Don't want to wait 3 months for the other wire. Any suggestions?
HELP

Oh my goodness poor bird
was he okay afterwards?

And gee, tough one, sorry I can not be of any help
I just bought a ready made galvanised aviary (second hand).................

The bird who got his head stuck was fine. No ill effects at all. Luckily he didn't batter himself trying to get free. As for googling Aviary wire....I have googled my talefeathers off it took days to find the wire. It was TWP that has the wire I wanted backordered. I have looked at Sierra, I'll take a second look at thier roll wire
Thanks
