Having said that, if anyone is getting their underpants in a twist over racing pigeons, I would say they need a firm kick in the pants to understand what happens each and every day with the industry behind pigeon...
I built something similar... I used 1/2” x 1” welded wire for the bottom... then used 2x4 welded for a skirt along the bottom, and buried that and added rocks along the bottom... and then added some picket garden fence that I had on hand...
