Lazy Bones cages

[Madmart39]

Hello all, I got told from an online parakeet shop owner not to buy a Lazy Bones brand cage as they contain zinc, is this true?

I tried finding any specs on materials, but only seeing metal listed

What area are you located? Do you have other options?

I’m just trying to figure out who makes these lazy Bones cages!!! Does anyone here know??

I don't know much about them, but in any cage your biggest potential source for zinc will be the assembly hardware (nuts, bolts etc...). The cage pieces themselves should be made of wrought iron and a bird-safe powder coat material.
