Yep—that’s the same stuff we
use.

Wire Advice needed
What I use and I think what you may be referring to Mary, is "1/2
inch hardware cloth". I think it works really well. It's really sturdy, I
also use it in my vegetable beds to keep gophers out. I even built a
"balcony" for my birds so they can sunbathe, out of it. It's stapled
to the frame of the aviary.
I buy it from Home Depot. You can get it in 25 or 50 foot rolls, either
3 or 4 feet wide. It costs around a dollar per foot. You will also need a
cutter (looks like very sturdy scissors), and work gloves otherwise it will
scrape up your hands as you work with it. If you go the stapling route, you
will also need a staple gun and staples.

Hi Cheryl - I am not actually sure what my wire is
called, but it's a galvanized fairly heavy gauge type; it came
with the aviary that was donated - I used 10' cyclone fencing panels, and then
zip-typed the wire to the fencing panels and did this for the long sides; I
ran out of the wire for the top, so zip tied chicken wire with the smallest
openings I could find. I don't like the chicken wire, so when I get the
chance, I'm going to find the other type wire and replace the top. Hope that makes sense! I will try to send pics
next week so you can see it ... Ms.Mary Promise me that you
will always remember, You're braver than
you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. ~
