What cookware should I buy?

Before buying a cage make sure it does not contain lead (lead is potentially toxic to birds). Excess of zinc can also be harmful. Lead and zinc are two main factors one should consider before buying a cage for a pet bird. Rectangular cages are preferred over round cages because a round cage does not give a bird a safe corner when it is frightened or alarmed. The round bar positioning in round cages may also affect a bird's feathers, particularly the tailfeathers. Another point to consider in bird cages are the toys that the bird will play with.
