Gardien Comment: All pet enclosures should have a suitable alarm system to warn against intruders. The Wireless Garden Alarm (http://www.garden-security.co.uk/wireless-garden-alarm.aspx) is very suitable for this purpose as its range means it can cover aviaries, kennels etc which are not actually next to the dwelling.
