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 wondering if this would actually be a safe cage for a green cheek. The seller is YaheeTech, which is based in Ontario California but customer pictures show a box with "Made in China." Mostly 5 stars, with lowest rating be 3 stars. Is non-toxic hammertone safe?

This specific coating or paint is safe and is commonly used in bird cages of various sizes. "Hammertone" is just a description of the finish. It looks like the bars were hit with a hammer to give a textured appearance.
