In my research for my quail "farm" I've heard "mink wire" mentioned several times. However, I've been unable to find out what "mink wire" is. Does anyone know what it is?

I found a few references via google. It looks like 'mink wire' is 1 inch square wire mesh. I have used the same type of wire for cages for rabbits, chickens, etc.

This is a magpie trap ( not sure why they are trapping magpies, in fact I'm not even sure what a magpie is, except a vague thought it is some sort of noisy bird ), but it shows the wire in use:

A VERY noisy bird! Nice looking, if you like the cop car effect. (Black & white) They can be pests.

Rabbit wire would work, too, I would think. It's usually sold with 1/2" x 1" squares.
