Aussie Finch Forum

mice are probably the main reason I made the foundation of my new aviary so deep & thick. take a desperate mouse a long time to get through 2 foot deep by 1 foot thick concrete which has 5mm wire in it. little shits always manage to get in somewhere though

Hey Mick you know if you get a bad storm you will need to take shelter in the aviary, it will never blow away with that much concrete

no matter how deep and think you put the footing down they will still find a way and no mater how clean you keep your avairy you will still get mice. i dont think ive ever heard of anyone that didnt have a mouse problem when keeping birds

I'm thinking it needs a bundy fridge,tv & futon in the feed area. so that when she who wants to be obeyed gets mad again I got somewhere to go

Yeah I never use to get them but now we are so keeping baits out now for a while

does anyone if you put blue metal works i read in mike filders book on the gouldian finch that he sed it works but you need to put it in at about 3 inch thick and it is to heavy for them to dig in?

thanks toddles

nope doesnt work uncle has it bout 400mm down and bout 300mm wide then same of concrete ontop and still they get ineven and he has the 6mm wire on

dam they are truly smart or can fit in any small hole lol

i get the occasional mouse.Since leaving a couple of bait stations about i havent seen one for a year or so.touch wood.
