Painting The Aviary

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi ,

 

I have a plan to build a new aviary but this time I will make it from iron profiles instead of regular wood .

 

I would like to learn what kind of painting can be used as I like to eliminate any poisining risks . Are there also antibacterial types ?

 

Thanks .

Not aware of any anti-bacterial paints, but i would suggest you prime the iron to seal it and prevent rust then paint with nomal household water based paint. Best of luck, post a picture when you build it.

Here in the U.S. we have a paint called "Kilz" which is supposed to eliminate the growth of mold. My husband uses it as a primer, as it is white. I think you can get colors mixed in to it, though. But I don't know if they have Kilz, or even any other brand name available over in Turkey.

 

Also, I don't know if it's safe for budgies, anyway.
