Can anybody please explain the meaning of 'mesh-draped' ?
Inside one mesh-draped enclosure, Julius, a foot-high peach-white Moluccan cockatoo with a pink-feathered headdress, was madly pacing, muttering in the native tongue of the Korean woman who, along with her recently deceased husband, had owned him.

It means that a mesh (a kind of fine net) was hung around and over the enclosure, presumably to stop the bird escaping.
