To all HQ Bird Cage’s owners – Toxicology Report

[AiSell]

Recently I bought a bird cage for my finches that I ordered from www.hqbirdcages.com. 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: http://hqbirdcages.com/cage_toxicology_report.html.

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.

The report is basically declaring the paint contains no lead. It also suggests that the levels of the color mixtures were all ok also.

 

It did not provide a great amount of detail, in reality.

The link doesn't want to work for me but I'll go by what Dan said. If there is no lead and everything is listed as safe then I wouldn't worry too much. Finches really don't chew on their cages so the chance for ingesting anything is minimal. One thing though...is it paint of powder coated? Paint doesn't seem to last as long as the powder does.
