Was used to protect finches from currawongs on a bush block. It was a basic frame structure with 12mm square bird wire over it much like a large bird cage but with 2 large barn type doors on one of its long edges to allow the bird cage to be placed inside keeping your birds out of reach of any predators. Same theory as double wiring an aviary. Link to comment

A mate told me to get a plastic owl & place it on top to scare the wild birds away. I didn't believe it till he lent me his. it seemed to work. So I bought one from a garden centre. It stood on my shed till it fell to bits after a few years. I didn't have not trouble while he was up there. after a while trouble came back so I tried to get another, no luck so I bought a plastic cat, It worked just as good Yours B. J.. Link to comment

They cant get far enough back in the cage when a predator reaches through for them, be it cat, rat or predatory bird. At least in an aviary they can fly back far enough from the front of the wire.

I didn't realise your birds were in an open cage & not in an aviary. Is it worth putting your birds outside? The stress caused could possibly kill them. They must feel very unsafe exposed in an open cage. Why not keep them inside by an open window instead of outside? Yours B. J. Link to comment

No bird should be outside in a normal cage and you inside. Link to comment

The only good one's a dead one. They are killing off our native wildlife by taking over their nests... The only thing that stands up to them is the lorikeets. Link to comment

Suddenly, one day I caught movement at the window, looked up to see a small hawk flapping backward... I think he was pulling up out of a dive after he suddenly saw my dirty window! He was WAY too close for comfort, could have smashed the window. My birds have to do without the sunlight now. I'm going to get full spectrum lamps for them. I don't know how Luciano felt, but it scared me half to death! Diana Link to comment
