Question
Hi, i have a question Its really wierd so to speak.
I have a big cage that i havent used in about two years, it has that standard white color to it, but iv'e noticed that there are some parts of the cage that have rust present on it. What kind of paint do I use to repaint it? or can I safely put birds in the cage with the rust present?? Thanks!

Answer
Dear Jimmie,
thank you for your question.
I think it would be better to sand down the cage and paint it again or at least the parts that have rusted. You can use acryllic paint, there are brands that are safe to use for children's toys, those are also safe for painting animal equipment and cages.
I hope I was of some help to you
