My recommendation is to call the manufacturer
for paint recommendations and, believe it or not, some cage manufacturers will
do that for you. In any event, you must make sure the paint is nontoxic since
most birds do scratch it with their beak. After painting Make sure you let it
dry completely: Permit the paint to dry for at least 48 hours before moving
your bird into the cage, so be prepared to have a secondary cage on hand. Also
you should know that although paint may be nontoxic when dry, there are paints
may be harmful to your bird if inhaled, so paint it as far as you can from your
birds, outdoor area preferred.
You should have a minimum of 3 perches - one for sleeping, and two others made of different materials and of varying sizes. This will give your bird enough variety without overcrowding the cage.
The travel bird cage is usually a smaller version of
a normal bird cage. The travel bird cage does not need to be large, nor does it
need to be as durable as your bird cage. Be sure that your bird can comfortably
fit in this cage for a short amount of time so that it will not become
stressed.
I suggest you to have a look at http://www.birdcages.com/helpfulinfo.cfm. I
personally purchased a parrot perches from their site and I was very pleased
with their customer service and their products. If you're looking for a bird
cage you'll find it there.
The quality bird cages are often made of iron and the top quality
are made of stainless steel. You can find other bird cages lessen in quality
with low quality powder-coat or a painted finish.
