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 :lol:

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
