do you guys prefer to use and where's the best place to get them, price wise?
Am using fishing nets from WalMart but really don't like the way the birds get terribly tangled up in them.
thanks !

Cutlers Supply sells some real nice ones that are fairly strong and have small holes.

Are you looking for netting to put on top of their pens or a net to catch them with.

I got something that looks like a gigantic butterfly net to aid in the catching of peacocks. I think I got it at Cutler's. It has been quite helpful in catching peafowl that had escaped or were free ranging for one reason or another. But with my birds in the coop, I don't use it or haven't so far anyway.

I just went to a fishing store and bought a nice big soft fishing net to catch them with , they work great , just lay it over then gently and they don't try to fight to bad for they can't open there wings to fly.
