Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old

I am looking to get a bigger cage for my 2 year old conure. Currently I’m in the market to buy one online that is advertised as a “solid metal cage” coated with “non-toxic hammertone paint” which included stainless steel dishes. I was just was just wondering if this would actually be a safe cage for a green cheek.

Thanks for reaching out. The biggest question is where the cage was manufactures and what quality controls are present. Unfortunately, some cages made in China or other countries have shown to not be as advertised. A little research with the company name might give more information. Good luck.
