I am building an aviary for my doves. Would this work for the walls? Has anyone tried it for an aviary?

I have not - I've used the relatively tight mesh as a barrier to snakes the might invade the yard - so far so good.

I doubt the birds will attack themselves on your screened windows. The decals did not deter the birds on my uncovered windows though at all. I did not find the product effective at all.

I would NOT use the bird cages as permanent homes for any bird, use more for either temporary housing and/or transporting. I purchased them for decorations - I have a candle in each one.

The walls aren't very thick (maybe 3/4"). So you could do it for a small dog and maybe reinforce the outer edges.

The holes are big enough that small birds can get through. I use mine for my peafowl and chickens. I do notice that morning doves seem to get in sometimes but they can't get out. I think their coming through the fence not the netting. Its very very strong and works great if u need to cut it and it dont come apart. I have had mine for about 5yrs now. I use zip ties to hook it to the fence. Its easier to take down when needed. Yes its lightweight.

Well technically yes, they will adhere. But they are most effective on the outside where the UV light can bounce off their surfaces. They are clear so you can see out your window. The birds won't be able to see them on the inside. If you want to deter bird strikes and can't reach the outside, I would use plain white paper so the birds can actually see the obstructions. You can even use something decorative like white paper snowflake cutouts.

These work on ledges of small spaces. Don't think they will work on a roof top where seagulls landing because they will just go around it unless you install the whole roof with them. I would try some kind of a noise mechanism or one of those artifical predatory birds like an eagle....

If the plastered walls are pretty smooth, I don't think it will be a problem. If they are textured, you many run into issues with it sticking. This product isn't super sticky. I would recommend ordering a small amount to see if it works first. The product came faster than expected.

I can't say for sure but because it's so thin, I don't think it will work well on textured walls. I believe you will be able to see the textures come through the decors. However, it probably would stick on the textured wall.

I put a couple in a small barn for bat control only and it worked great for the first year, so we will see about this year... I use to get a few birds flying into the barn, but since you asked, I realized they are not there anymore. Great!! I was concentrating on Bats, so if you want birds to stay, I am not sure it would work, but if you can call the supplier, they are very helpful. Good Luck Duane Mitch

You would probly have to add insulation the nesting area has slates in the bottom I added ply wood to the inside for winter also put in wood shaving and straw they stayed warm enough but I also put tarps around there outside pen to keep the wind off them. House probly holds 3 maybe four chickens . Hope this helps

The box that I have has no finish on the wood, it came with wood shavings to put in the box to attract owls. Mine also has two chambers one that is right behind the entrance. Then there is a 1/2 wall that is attached at the front of the box but only extends to the middle not the back wall to give the chicks privacy. I haven't had any owls yet nest, we are seeing them come back to the Hollywood Hills!

I have been sprinkling it in the aspen shavings for my birds nest boxes. ( Cockatiels, conures, lovebirds and parrotlets) and it works great, just sprinkle it not too much. I would think it would work also for doves. Worth trying.

We didn't have much luck covering the wall. This works great for filling cracks around doors and windows. We were trying to insulate the entire wall system in a 10x20 shed. It would probably reduce the noise but to get the foam to fill the area you are trying to fill may take a couple of bottles. I know for our project it would've taken several bottles. We couldn't get it to spray in layers....it sprayed in streams. The foam expanded and filled cracks and small voids wonderfully. It should reduce sound tho' for sure.

We placed ours at outside edge of large picture window, and keep the drape partially closed so they do not see through back. So far have only saw one small bird checking it out but no residents so far. Its a great idea, but I would like to hear from someone who actually has birds actually using the birdhouse.

My best suggestion is one should put a sign that no doves, pigeons are allowed to feed from this bird feeder. If they are decent they will read the sign and never come back. For the bad ones you should make it more weight sensitive by rotating the inner rod so that only light birds can sit on the perch. In general this is the best bird feeder we found which keeps the squirrel away. Before the squirrels were the sole eaters from our bird feeders.

I would put another layer of Sheetrock over it to help hold it on the wall.. It would not prime well or paint very well.
