I’ve got some netting from a trampoline I wonder if I could use for something like this! Also they have catios for cats that might work as well. The mosquito netting is pretty fine, I could not cut it with a scalpel so it is more durable than I expected. I wouldn’t use it for budgies or birds that climb or cling to the walls. Quail are ground birds and that’s where their feet stay. No issues with wings or claws, but they want to peck at the netting at eye level occasionally, did notice a small whole 3 weeks in probably from just that, might hand sew it or try duck tape or even nail polish? But you need external predator protection so this also means any inadvertent escapees probably can’t escape the garage or whatever contains the netting if they did make a significant hole. My biggest problem is keeping birds I otherwise wouldn’t, my son’s favorite year old male that has decided he’s retired, a little mutant black thing we call Humphrey…the birds are so much happier and can get away from sticky situations instead of getting beat up, I want 20, I’ve got 27! But yes, I’m assuming longevity on the netting isn’t measured in years, but for the price it is a workable option.
