Recently I bought a bird cage for my finches that I ordered from HQ Bird Cages - the leading source for HQ brand bird cage . I can say that cage is really great and my finches feel excellent inside. But that is not what I keep in mind. Before I bought the cage I have read in some forums that it is very important the paint that is used to contain either only ultra-safe levels of toxic elements or none. Regarding to that I sent an email to HQBirdCages after the purchase of the cage where I asked them if there is any guarantee which proves the cage doesn’t contain toxic elements. Their answer was that the paint which HQ Bird Cages work with has been chemically tested and showed me this toxicology report: HQ Bird Cages - the leading source for HQ brand bird cage
I am not so competent but as much as I can understand everything seems to be okay and I am not supposed to have any worries. But I would be very grateful to anyone who is more competent in that field to help me in spelling out this report and to confirm that everything is in the normal limits. I am sure this information will be very useful for all HQ Bird Cage’s owners.

Gosh... the reading I've done always suggested powdercoating, not paint, per se. Powder coat is almost the same as a chroming finish- the color compound goes into a solution, the item goes into the solution, and current causes the color to adhere to the metal.

I'm very happy with mine, but truth be told, I bought it from a local bird store. One I trust. I have no clue to the brand. My pic is too large a file to share. The color is not my favorite, but it was the most expensive cage I've ever invested in. It is lovely.
