Bird Enclosure for Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre


Here at Advanced Nets we do quite a bit of work for animal shelters and other environmental uses as you can see here http://www.advancednets.com.au/environmental-nets.html.

Recently, the Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre in South Australia www.mintonfarm.com.au contacted us looking for us to design and install a Bird Netting for Miru, a wedge tailed eagle who was brought to them after its mother was shot. The enclosure is large enough to allow Miru to walk and fly around inside.

The refuge has emerged from a community need for animal and bird rescue and rehabilitation. The project funding relies entirely on volunteers and donations to operate. Your kind support will help to improve the quality of life for 100's of native animals and birds for future generations to enjoy, not just as extinct exhibits in museum.

Whilst we were inside the enclosure Miru put on a bit of a show for us as you can see in the videos below...
