Are these three prepositions suitable in the context below?

Just a few steps ahead, on the left, we saw the bird section. They were kept in very large aviaries (which were) covered in/with/by wire netting.

 

[Tarheel]

Is that your sentence?

(I would use the word "enclosed" there.)

 

[ambitious-girl]

Is that your sentence?

(I would use the word "enclosed" there.)

Yes. That was my sentence. I want to know if those propositions are OK or not.

 

[Tarheel]

Try:

They are kept in very large aviaries which are enclosed in wire netting.

 

[ambitious-girl]

They all work, in, with, or by. With 'enclosed', 'with' and 'by' are preferable.

Thank you RobertJ.

Is the sentence below is OK too?

Just a few steps ahead, on the left, we saw the bird section. They were kept in very large aviaries covered by wire netting by the zoo authorities.

 

[Tarheel]

You don't need to add "by the zoo authorities" there.
