Engineered for Intelligent Climbing Birds
Parrots and Macaws are famous for their climbing ability and strong beaks. Traditional galvanized wire can be dangerous due to zinc toxicity and can easily snap under constant chewing. Our 1.5″ x 1.5″ handwoven stainless steel rope mesh is the modern, non-toxic solution. The 1/16″ cable is thick enough to resist beak pressure while remaining flexible enough to create beautiful, curved aviary designs.
Why Choose 1.5″ x 1.5″ Mesh?
Chew-Proof & Non-Toxic: Unlike PVC-coated or galvanized wire, SS304 contains no lead or zinc, making it 100% safe for parrots who love to climb with their beaks.
Large Span Flexibility: This mesh is incredibly lightweight relative to its strength, allowing for large, open-span flight cages without the need for heavy, ugly support structures.
Climbable Texture: The hand-knotted diamond structure provides an excellent grip for birds to move naturally around their environment without damaging their talons.
Maximum Airflow & Light: The 1.5″ opening ensures excellent ventilation and sunlight penetration, which is vital for the health and feather quality of tropical birds.

Absolutely Exceptional Quality!
I recently built a large outdoor aviary for my parrots and chose HEB’s 1.5″x1.5″ mesh. I am thoroughly impressed. The wire is incredibly robust, the welds are perfect, and the galvanized coating is even and thick. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my birds are safe and secure in a structure that can withstand their beaks and the elements. This is premium mesh that is truly worth the investment. Highly recommended!

Perfect for DIY Aviary Projects!
As a DIY enthusiast, I found this mesh from HEB Metal Mesh to be fantastic. The 1.5″ by 1.5″ grid is ideal for parrots—secure yet still allowing great visibility. It was easy to cut (with the right tools) and work with. The pieces were well-packed and arrived in great condition. For the quality you get, the price is very reasonable. My aviary project turned out better than I hoped, thanks to this excellent product. Five stars!

Superior to Everything Else I’ve Tried!
Having used other types of mesh in the past, this 1/16″ gauge parrot aviary mesh from HEB is in a league of its own. The difference in strength and durability is immediately noticeable. The grid pattern is consistent and precise, providing maximum security without any weak points. It’s clear this is made specifically for powerful birds. My macaws haven’t put a dent in it. Outstanding product from a specialist manufacturer. I won’t buy mesh from anywhere else now.

Top-Notch in Every Aspect!
From ordering to installation, my experience with HEB Metal Mesh was flawless. The product itself is exceptional: heavy-duty, cleanly galvanized, and perfectly sized for parrots. The 1.5″ squares prevent head entrapment but keep even small toes safe. What really stands out is the obvious care in manufacturing—no sharp edges, consistent welds. It made building my flight cage straightforward and safe for my birds. The quality speaks for itself. A truly five-star product.
