This is what I have all of my birds in. It's 36x48. A smaller version would work well for a handful of birds.

Here's an old pic that shows the layout better.

I swear all the good breeders and all the cool exotic ducks are in good ol' america... I'm in sweden!! I swear there's barely anything here!! All people sell are muscovies... It's so rare to find anything else...

What do you use on top of the center pole to hold up the netting?

What do you use on top of the center pole to hold up the netting?

It's just a plastic garbage can lid, so the netting can slide and shift without tearing on the rough top of the telephone pole.

Thanks! And is that airline cable to help keep the netting from sagging?
