The sand coutry habitat this week at the park was looking amazing . Thought id share a few pics of an aviary project we have on the go, its been re-meshed in 6mm stainless mesh.

WOW. What an aviary. Are you sure it is stainless steel mesh, if so, it would have cost a fortune. By the way, your not going to keep emus in there. lol

As with all the Parks exhibits it will be planted out to mimic a particular habitat (woodland , with the use of Gidgee or Acacias for this aviary) The birds will be those found in that habitat. :thumbup: Its nice to work there and see the team re-create a particular environment. Come see Jay, you must nearly be work experience age ?
The footings are quite deep, if we see sign of intruders we`ll lay mesh underground (vertically) on the outside. Perenti`s are the main concern but they are still hiding at the moment.We have a couple of beauties that are resident in the core area.
