A Greater Roadrunner has a separated aviary, you can see the bird in the left corner standing on the rock.

Is there mesh in front of this aviary? If so, it is almost invisible. If not, then what keeps the bird from getting out?

If you look closely at the original photo enlarged, you can see the mesh running more or less in front of the rocks, mid-way through the "exhibit." This apparently separates the roadrunner aviary from the larger space where the viewing area is.

I think that was @Orycteropus' point

Thanks Zooplantman. I can see the mesh strip on the bottom, but it looks like a low fence to me rather than a mesh wall...that is effective concealment of a barrier (how it comes out in a photo at least).

If you zoom in and look above the mesh strip at the bottom you will see the thinner layer of mesh. It is quite visible against the rocks on the right.
