So I sealed it,got fencing on their peep thru,but thats it.They get plenty of sun and no mice in their feeders.

Snakes, mice, rats all love little quail and their eggs for lunch. Why I use 1/2" hardware cloth on all sides.

Check with your state on Gamebird laws, laws keep changing.

ALL MY QUAIL ARE IN 1/2 HARDWARE CLOTH PENS AS WELL, AS FOR THE MICE/ RATS/ SNAKES I LET THE PHEASANT COCKS TAKE CARE OF THEM---- WAY BETTER THAN A BARN CAT AND THEY KEEP MY EGGS FERTILE

I think the optimal words here are (1/2' HARDWARE CLOTH). It's oh so under sold!
I'm not going to debate the smell of an ally cat verses a pheasant cock, but 1/2' hardware cloth is pretty much...critter proof....Ally cat and pheasant cock, sold separately

Your results, may vary. Void where taxed, licensed, or restricted!

Thanks 1/2' hardware cloth....Your welcome Joe!

PHEASANTS ONLY FLY OFF INTO THE SUNSET AS FAR AS THE AVIARY FENCE WILL ALLOW.. THEN THEY SIT BEWILDERED ON THE GROUND SHAKING THEIR HEADS AND MUTTERING SOMETHING ABOUT TOMARROW WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY...

1/2" harware cloth over here means a small mouse can get both his butt and head caught in it the same time. I tried to pry it out with a pair of pliers,but ripped 1/2 of its skin off.

But I managed to get it out only for me to lose my grip on the pliers and it ended up on the ground,then eaten by a multitude of hens.

Poor mousey!

NOW ITS A GOOD MOUSE...

I would have brought out the bolt cutters that will get at least part of him out fast. Not used for the wire though....
