African Grey Mesh and Aviary Tips
It is extremely important to choose the correct galvanised welded mesh for building an aviary for African Greys. You may opt for a thinner wire if you select a smaller block size, but for galvanised welded mesh with larger blocks, you will have to select thicker wire, as the parrots
can get their beaks into the holes and thus bite through the wire and eventually possibly escape.
