need some advice for flight pen netting

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hello everyone,

 

I have four fantail pigeons, recently been attacked by something like a hawk. Was very lucky, just got there in time.

I want to secure the backyard with some sort of netting, I was wondering if you could give some advice where to get it and what 

sort of netting would be the best.

I live in Cairns, Nth QLD, Australia, here you can't even buy a proper aviary, I don't think hardware stores would keep netting either.

Maybe getting it through ebay? 

 

Here are some pictures of our backyard & pigeons.

It's a fairly small backyard and as you can see plenty of trees. 

What do you guys think?

 

Thanks!

They are lovely birds.  I got my avian netting from an on line supplier here in the United States ( I'm sure you would not want to pay for shipping from here).  Try doing a search on line to find out if there are on line suppliers in Australia.  I got 2 x 2 inch netting to keep out predators.
