The Tawny owl was struck by a car in East Sussex in December 2012. He had a nasty blow to the head which caused serious trauma to the owl’s eyes.  The rehabilitation process has been a long one to ensure the bird’s eye sight in good enough for flying, hunting and catching food.  This owl will be released back to the wild once fit  and well.

New Stanford college animal cages

New Stanford college animal cages

I am a Senior Animal Technician at New College Stamford and I am always on the look out for bigger and better designs for animal enclosures to met the animals welfare needs.  I had an ideas what I wanted but didn't know how to get it.  I stumbled across Fine Mesh Metals on one of my searches and contacted them immediately.  By the end of the day they had responded, not only could they met my requirements they offered advice on the design.  It was a short delivery time and so easy to install. Both enclosures are robust enough to withstand the beaks of  parrots and the climbing ability of the ferrets, having different gauges of mesh prevents escapees!  The safety porch can be moved to various positions to accommodate our 'human' requirements.  The panels can be easily repositions to create a new floor layout  area or free standing enclosure to enrich the animals lives further.  The animals now use this part of their enclosures so much that we have decided to extend it further. Our Animal course is constantly expanding so having something that is easily movable saves on the cost of building a fixed enclosure giving us more variety and flexibility. Next animal to get a revamp on his enclosure .....The iguana and maybe some tunnels for the meerkats!  I will be using Fine Mesh Metals again for sure.
