Thanks for being such a friendly forum everyone. Sadly, it is pretty hard to find a place like this. The people on the pet forums I go to are just plain sarcastic and rude. They make you feel stupid when you are trying to ask questions and learn. I tried a new finch forum today because on the last one the people were just so snooty. The first thing I posted about on this new one was someone asking what materials to use to build an aviary. Since I just finished mine, I offered advice. Maybe I'm just sensitive but this person was being snooty to me
My post:
I used thick plastic hardware net like this to build my aviary. Mine is indoors but it works great. Won't rust or corrode, non-toxic and it's easy to roll out and use. Easy to wipe clean. It's not loose or flimsy, it's stiff and durable. And the holes are small enough that not even my little waxbills can fit through. I think it would work great outside. The only problem I could think of with it being outside is maybe wild animals chewing through it like coyotes or dingoes. Whatever you guys have down there in Australia.
Their reply:
nope, no coyotes here, and dingoes tend to stay away from towns. But we do all ride to town on emus, if we're upper-class on kangaroos! ---with a smiley face rolling it's eyes.
Maybe they were joking, but not a very nice "Hello!" if you ask me!
