In Reply to: Canary Cage posted by Pam Ouzts on August 24, 19100 at 15:04:49:

: I would like to put 2 canaries in an "ornamental" cage made of wrought iron that I bought from Pier One. They told me that I should not use it for birds because if they chew on the cage it could sicken them. Is there some kind of sealant I could put on the cage to protect the birds should they chew on it? Thanks, Pam

If the finish is poisonous, there's nothing -- short of stripping it all off -- that can be done.

I'd expect that anything with a toxic paint could not be sold for home use. What if a child chews on flaking paint?
