New Year’s Order Shipping – Vulture Fencing Mesh

Vulture Fencing Mesh Order

HENGYI Metal Ecological Mesh sends the first shipment of vulture fencing mesh to Central America completed in the New Year.

Factors of zoo vultures

Vultures or raptors are aggressive birds. When on display at a zoo, it is important to use strong, durable, and secure vulture fencing mesh as an enclosure fence.

Vultures are large scavenging birds of prey, primarily known for feeding on carrion (dead animals). They belong to two distinct families, depending on their geographic location:

Old World Vultures (Family: Accipitridae): Found in Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Examples include the Griffon Vulture, Indian Vulture, and Egyptian Vulture.

They have a keen sense of sight and often locate food from high altitudes.

These vultures typically rely on soaring to cover large areas when searching for food.

They are more closely related to eagles and hawks.

New World Vultures (Family: Cathartidae): Found in the Americas, particularly in North and South America.

Examples include the Turkey Vulture, Black Vulture, and California Condor.

Unlike Old World vultures, New World vultures rely more on their sense of smell to locate carrion.

They have a more limited distribution and have a less developed sense of sight than their Old World counterparts.

They are more closely related to storks than to eagles or hawks.

Vultures play an important ecological role by cleaning up dead animal carcasses, helping to prevent the spread of disease. They have specialized adaptations, such as strong stomach acids, that allow them to consume decaying flesh without getting sick. Many vultures also have bald heads, which help keep them clean when feeding on carcasses.

Regular vulture fencing mesh specifications

Regardless of the species of vulture, they are a large bird and highly aggressive. Keeping the vultures safely stayed in their exhibits and keeping visitors safe is a priority.

Stainless steel rope mesh provides protection for the security of vulture fencing mesh.

Hengyi Metal Ecological Mesh provides a series of specs that suitable for many different kinds of birds and animals. There are several options for vultures fencing.

Generally, 1.6mm and 2.0mm rope diameters are sufficient for safety in vulture fencing mesh aviary. This, combined with the larger size of vultures, allows for the use of 2 inch mesh hole. Both handwoven cable mesh and ferrule cable mesh can be used as the aviary netting.

Since they fly, the aviary site should be large enough and covered with roof netting.

We can provide the customized roll sizes of the mesh. It will be more easy for installation.

Factors need to consider when buying vulture fencing mesh

When using stainless steel cable mesh for designing a vulture exhibit, there are several factors to consider to ensure both the safety of the birds and the longevity of the installation.

1. Mesh Size and Strength

Appropriate Hole Size: Ensure the mesh size is small enough to prevent the vultures from escaping or getting their heads caught. Typically, a 1-2 inch (25-50 mm) square or diamond mesh is used for birds of this size.

Strength and Durability: Stainless steel is strong, but the mesh should be rated for the weight and strength of the vulture species you’re working with. Make sure the gauge (thickness) of the wire is sufficient to withstand pressure from large birds.

2. Safety for the Birds

No Sharp Edges: Check for any sharp or rough areas where the birds might get injured. Stainless steel vulture fencing mesh is often smooth, but rough edges during installation can pose a risk to the birds.

Avoiding Entanglement: Ensure the mesh doesn’t create small gaps where the vultures could get their legs, wings, or beaks stuck. Carefully inspect the mesh for any potential hazards before installation.

Bird Flight and Movement: Vultures need enough space to fly and move around. Ensure the enclosure is large enough to accommodate their wingspan, and use mesh with sufficient tensile strength to allow for the physical activity that vultures need.

3. Corrosion Resistance and Maintenance

Weather Considerations: Stainless steel vulture fencing mesh is generally resistant to corrosion, but consider the environment of the exhibit. If the exhibit is in a coastal or high-humidity area, ensure the grade of stainless steel is suitable (e.g., 316 grade for marine environments).

Regular Inspection and Maintenance: Stainless steel mesh can accumulate dirt, algae, or other contaminants, which may reduce its effectiveness. Regular cleaning and inspections for rust, damage, or wear are necessary.

4. Aesthetic Considerations

Visibility: Stainless steel cable mesh can be transparent or minimally visible, which allows for unobstructed views of the birds. Ensure that the mesh doesn’t obscure the view or detract from the exhibit experience.

Camouflage: For a more natural look, consider incorporating vegetation or other materials that blend with the stainless steel mesh, reducing the visibility of the enclosure to visitors while still keeping it secure.

5. Weatherproofing and UV Resistance

UV Resistance: Ensure the cable mesh is treated for UV resistance if exposed to sunlight, especially if the installation is outdoors. Stainless steel vulture fencing mesh naturally resists UV damage, but protective coatings can enhance its lifespan.

6. Environmental Enrichment

Interaction with the Mesh: The vultures may interact with the mesh by pecking or perching on it. Consider the placement of perches, feeding areas, and access to natural elements (trees, rocks) to give the vultures a more stimulating environment.

7. Zoological Guidelines

Compliance with Regulations: Always ensure the exhibit design meets local wildlife regulations and standards for animal enclosures, including safety, space, and enrichment requirements.

By addressing these aspects, you can ensure that the stainless steel cable mesh is both a functional and safe material for the vulture fencing mesh exhibit while maintaining the aesthetic appeal and longevity of the installation.

After completing design of your vulture aviary, you can contact us to order custom sized stainless steel rope mesh. We will make the installation of your project easy and economical.
