Honestly, none. I would not trust anything but powder coating on a bird cage (which is a fancy process that is expensive to do yourself). I know it's not the answer you're looking for really, but it's the safest one. Cages for zebra finches are relatively cheap (especially if you get one at a bird show or flea market) so I'd just recommend buying a new cage in whatever color you want instead of putting your birds' lives at risk by using unsafe chemicals around them.

pnutsmom is correct.
There is really no paint or spray-on agent you can use that I could recommend. And As "mom" said, Finch cages are so inexpensive, it would be far better to purchase a new flight cage for them than try and rehab the old one. Between fumes and residue left after the spray treatment, you might end up with a disaster on your hands. Birds are rather sensitive to chemicals and the little guys like finches are especially so.
Just purchase a new one and you won't have to worry. Both you and your finches will be better for it.
Good Luck!

Well first off make sure they arent in the cage when its sprayed :)
From what I know paints without zinc would be an option. The less nasty stuff the better. My animals are always messing with my acrylic paints and it has done them no harm. Even when the dog ate the majority of a tube.

Zebra Finches are lovable, curious, playful little beepers. They require somewhat extra upkeep than some others birds as they're kinda messy, and they are going to throw seed out as they eat. good in nature, undesirable on your floor. in case you get a pair (male/female) they are going to probable attempt to reproduce so in case you do not favor this, get 2 of a similar gender. yet in case you get in simple terms one, it receives lonely. they are going to also favor a marginally large cage. a minimum of 30" lengthy and 18" deep. Finches favor to fly, and in the journey that they do no longer have adequate space to finish that, they could fall ill. And no, getting an exceedingly tall cage received't suffice. in the nutrition plan branch, do not provide them in simple terms seeds. Seed is sweet yet they are going to favor a assorted nutrition plan. I provide mine suitable right here. a good Finch Seed blend smooth Eggfood sparkling vegetables (Broccolli, Carrot, Romaine, Spinach) Calcium Suppliment (A cuttlebone regularly will suffice) Grit (no longer all and various does this, and that i in elementary words do VERY sparingly) Spray Millet (in elementary words weekly as a manage) maximum of those might want to be discovered at your interior reach petstore, or on line they are going to require consistent get entry to to sparkling nutrition and water each day. I typically examine mine 3 cases an afternoon. yet as mine are at the moment worrying for his or her youthful, i'd recommend some times for you. saying that the little ones won't be able to paintings at the same time with them isn't precisely authentic. Mine love bath time, and get fussy with me if i don't have it waiting for them at precisely 3:00pm. the female will hop from perch to perch calling for me till they get it. And even as feeding time comes round, they are going to come suitable as a lot as me. they regularly do unlike being dealt with, yet some, with time, will tolerate some volume of it. Mine will enable me gently stroke their tail feathers, yet only for a minute or so. (each and every so often searching on their mood) All in all, Zebra Finches make good pets. they're lovable, relaxing to visual demonstrate unit, and could coach the newborn a sense of duty. yet worrying for yet another residing creature is a large deal, and the newborn could understand what they're going to be getting themselves into.
