Am interested in what others think on using suspended mesh floor cages for finches.
I have seen a few finches getting around on 1/2" square mesh bottoms in some pets shops and thought that's too big for them. Would 1/4" mesh be better if at all?
What about in the case of Painteds? ( Emblema Picta, if memory serves me well. ) It was suggested to me that they need at least 6" deep sandy floors!!! which I suppose is ok when you have a ground level aviary floor.

I have used and still prefer sand filled drawers for my breeding flights. ( Have been using newspaper lately. Hate it! ) But using sand gets a bit heavy especially when you stack your breeding flights.

Anyway, someone asked me do we use suspended mesh floor for the birds benefit? Do they like walking on it?
or do we do it for our benefit? is it easier to keep clean?

Cheers
craig
