Will my English budgie be all right?
I caught her breaking off pieces of paint from a decorative bird cage and eating it. She seems to be alright. Does any one know if the paint could be toxic?
it shouldnt be. my Quaker does that all the time. I dont think they would use toxic paint on a bird cage.

Your bird could become victim to heavy metal toxicity. Paint should NOT flake of a bird cage, if it does, there is a high chance it is the WRONG coating for a bird cage, and could well be poisonous. Please dump this ‘decorative’ cage immediately. Watch your bird VERY closely now for signs of fluffing, lethargy, shivering, lack of appetite or ANY change of poop formation. Any signs of any of these symptoms, and your bird should get urgent avian veterinary attention.
