Alright... I hope to fuck someone has found a solution to this already...
I've got an aviary built out of wire+wood frame panels.
It needs to be portable and collapsible, so I fix it all together with cable ties and it works really well.
My bird is able to chew through the plastic ones so I got some stainless steel ones...(pictured)
I've googled and googled and tried myself different methods to *easily* undo them like the simplicity of plastic ties.
The only way I've been successful is to pry open the metal case part and remove the metal ball that is the stopper... It's not fkn quick though..and easy to loose the ball.
Anyone know of something similar that is releasable? Or how to undo/redo these efficiently?
Lend me your knowledge D.I.Y!

Use Jubilee clips, you can tighten and untighten then with a flat head.

How about hose clamps? Fits your requirements of being a steel loop and can be undone with a screwdriver.

They get pretty expensive ince long and take a bit too much time to undo.

I've thought about it, but needs to fully disassemble really...:: pic. Judge away.

Screw some eyelets into the proper places and hold the eyelets together with these. If there's let's say 20 tie-wraps at the moment, that's 40 eyelets and 20 clips. Might cost 50 bucks.

How much force do these birds make? Wind?
Would you be able to staple a couple strips of Velcro down the entire length of the mating surfaces?

Get some stick on velcro and staple it to the frame
