If you're buying a CYV with a fenced backyard or one of the new Veranda homes with a fence, even though your pool would be legal without a birdcase, I would still have a birdcage. When I lived in Pensacola and had a pool, no one there had a birdcage, no one even built them. They just are not done in the panhandle of Florida, fenced yards are the norm. In my three years of owning that home, I found a water moccasin, he was coiled up in the skimmer when I lifted the lid off with my finger, that was a real surprise. Also a frozen squirrel or two in the bottom of the pool, critters are attracted to the water regardless of the chlorine.
