Hey can anyone send me photo's of some homemade cages for wire or send me a few links on what strength of wire they use or is minimum or maybe just the wire they use....So i can build a nice sized cage with appropriate wire:)

I use a Gauge 16 welded wire with 1" squares.
Strong enough not to be dented by IRN beaks.
In case, you use Galvanized Wire, wipe it first
with vinegar to neutralize the zinc coating.
Though if the cage is roomy enough, IRNs won't
waste their time chewing on the wires, especially
if there's wood around.
