The only solution for Mynah and other bird attacks on an outdoor cage or Aivery is a second layer, this is my second attempt at a mini balcony Aivery and I

learned from loosing a few Gouldian’s before, sooner or later they will catch a bird through the wires and kill it or break a leg leading to its death later. They get attacked by up to 5 co-ordinated Mynah birds and separately one big blackbird multiple times every day, Owels by night constantly smacking into the cage. Kookaburras and their long beaks try catch them, even bush turkeys tried getting at them. I made this cage buy buying 6 large cages at $100 each, joining four and using the other two and some poly sheets to create a second layer top, side and front usng bolts to create a good 1.5 inch space between layers, this has guranteed their safety through all these attack’s.
I also use mini Carboner clips on all doors as a rat once figured out how to open the doors, he eat all 4 before I worked out what was happening. I have a security cam and have seen the rat trying to get in multiple nights with no success.
Mynah’s are so determined and seem insanely jealous of Gouldians, I doubt anything will scare them other then chasing them off so I did not bother with buying fake owls or anything like that.
I used bird spikes in the past but they don’t work for long.
It’s a dangerous and exciting life for my birds, but now they are well protected, good exercise too being chased around all day. One gouldian chick did fly into the bars during an attack and got his head stuck in the bars and died, hopefully that was a once off.
