SOURCE: What's your problem?Our bird cage finish is chipping. Can I paint it myself?
My recommendation is to call the manufacturer
for paint recommendations and, believe it or not, some cage manufacturers will
do that for you. In any event, you must make sure the paint is nontoxic since
most birds do scratch it with their beak. After painting Make sure you let it
dry completely: Permit the paint to dry for at least 48 hours before moving
your bird into the cage, so be prepared to have a secondary cage on hand. Also
you should know that although paint may be nontoxic when dry, there are paints
may be harmful to your bird if inhaled, so paint it as far as you can from your
birds, outdoor area preferred.
Try a site called Windy City Parrot. They have a wide variety of travel cages. http://www.windycityparrot.com/Bird-travel-carriers-travel-bird-cages.html
I recently bought a dome top bird cage from Petco that was a
breeze to assemble. I will send you the
like, as well as a few more so that you can have a broader selection.

The travel bird cage is usually a smaller version of
a normal bird cage. The travel bird cage does not need to be large, nor does it
need to be as durable as your bird cage. Be sure that your bird can comfortably
fit in this cage for a short amount of time so that it will not become
stressed.
These cages provide your bird with the exact freedom they need in
order to enjoy a full flight. This cage is advised for community birds.
In general, the larger
and the more active the bird, the larger the cage one should use. The amount of
time the bird will spend in the cage each day is also a factor. A bird that is caged
most of the time requires far more space than a bird caged only at night.
