: harming them without knowing! I have only read somewhat unreliable rumors about the wire, could anyone give me
: more information please?

Unfortunately, I have yet to see any real studies done on this, so I'm just going on rumors... Anyhow, the galvanized wire wouldn't be too much of a problem as long as it was thick enough so the glider could get a firm grasp on it and also assuming the glider doesn't chew on the wire a lot.
