Bird House

Paint for bird house and cages?

I am looking for paint to use on bird houses and cages.
Does anyone know of a paint,I can use.

Most cages made today are powder/enamel coated Powder Coating is a process adhering paint to metal without any harmful toxins. The enamel has been tested to be non-toxic to birds. It does not contain lead or zinc of any significant value. Other cages are galvanized metal with the safer electro-plating process.

You can repaint and here are some tips:

First, the wire should be scrubbed with a wire brush to remove any loose flakes, and then sanded smooth by hand.

In general, look for paints which:
- do not contain lead, zinc or chromate
- are “high adhesion”, formulated to bond with the metal surface
- are hard-wearing
- are fast drying

Another suggestion is to look on the back of the paint can and see if it is safe for a human baby. There usually is a picture of a mom holding a child’s hand somewhere on the can.

While painting, be sure to:
- move bird to a separate room
- work in a well-ventilated area
- apply paint in a thin coat
- if you’re using a spray paint, be sure to hold a large piece of paper or cardboard behind the cage, moving it as you go, to act as a backdrop which catches the excess paint.

When the job is done…..WAIT. If possible, give your freshly painted cage a week or longer before using. Solvent-based paints take time after initial drying to release the solvent vapours. NEVER cover a bird in a freshly painted cage.

Never paint or stain the inside of the bird house.
