12MM (1/2″) APERTURE
Whites Aviary Mesh is an economical, small aperture, medium weight mesh ideal for most medium-large birds such as Peachface, Cockatiels, African Love Birds, all Australian Parrots up to Galah Size.
The heavy gauge wire keeps out most vermin. It is also suitable for many uses beyond aviary making.
Not recommended for species such as cockatoos and macaws. Suggested breeds are a guide only – actual mesh used will also depend on the design and construction of your cage, aviary or pen.
Be sure to take into account wire diameter, aperture and roll size when selecting mesh for a project.
Note: It is recommended that new galvanised wire mesh used in aviaries and pet cages be treated to remove excess zinc that could possibly harm the pets. Shave off any zinc spikes with a utility knife. The mesh should then be scrubbed with a mild solution of vinegar (2 cups in a bucket of water), and rinsed with clean water.
