Lose Any And All Plastic Mesh... Not Only Will They Chew Through It When Bored But Something Else Will Chew Into It When Hungry.

As posted..... it's on the ceiling so they won't bonk their heads

on the plywood and roofing nails it has about a 6-8-in gap between the mesh and ceiling, from floor to mesh is approx. 3 ft. and the sides and floor is all 1/2 x 1/2 wire mesh.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE GQF COMMERCIAL QUAIL BATTERIES? THEY ARE 10-12 INCHES TALL. SO LONG AS THE ANIMAL CAN WALK UP RIGHT IN THE PEN IT IS NOT TOO SHORT, AND THE SHORTER THE HARDER IT IS FOR THEM TO INJURE THEMSELVES WITH FLUSHING INJURES (PADDING OR NOT)

I am kina fond of the short pens I have yet to lose a bird because of bonking their heads
