I've heard that tiger urine will kepp anything out ..... No , seriously. Our local wildlife park sells it !!!!
Failing that, we had to put in chicken wire fence two feet below ground level. Foxes are a real problem with birds. We used to keep chickens and if they did manage to get in they would kill every thing. Hope it helps.

Here's a couple of suggestion...
1) Electric Fence - These are relatively cheap and can positioned just outside the current fence or even attached to the current fence. The process is to put a small post just outside the current fence and then string a bare wire around the peremiter. The charger emits quick burst of electricty so any animal that come in contact with it will get a quick jolt that is painful but not harmful.
2) Burried Barrier - Using some heavy gauge square type fencing, burry this around the peremiter of the garden. When the fox digs.. it will encounter this underground barrier. It may take awhile and a lot of holes before the fox(es) give up and move on.
A combination of both of the above may be the ultimate solution.
Hope this helps!

on the aviary floor put cement floor and cover it with dirt so your birds can have dirt and no foxes will come in when you see a fox come out screaming as to scare it away throw rocks at it if it stays dont hurt it just at its feet if you have a gun then get it and shoot around it so as to a warning it would be best for an alarm too when something crosses over the line the alarms sound then it will run it will come back but you will have good protection

Get a dog, my neighbour used to keep 2 rabbits in our communal garden, there are a few foxes around here, but we both have dogs and the garden is marked by them as their territory, the foxes seem to keep away coz of the scent of the dogs

Zoos often sell lion pooh which discourages cats from entering gardens. Would wolf pooh do the same for foxes?

Fencing and zoo poo. Go to your local zoo and buy some. It's normally from the lions so the foxes don't hang around for long once they smell it!

buy a roll of chickenwire and run it round the outside of your garden, burying it partially below the surface makes it more difficult to dig under.
this is by no means bomb proof but a relatively cheap humane option.

Do you have a fence around the garden? If so, try a liberal application of cayenne pepper (or any other hot pepper) around the perimeter outside the fence.

Get a dog. Foxes didn't come into my garden with my old dog.

go to the zoo or some place, get some lion or tiger urine, pour the urine on garden perimeter, the fox will pick up the scent and stay away, braz.
