Our newest addition Lucy is here! She is sooooo sweet!! She stepped right up for me!! She's been hanging out with me all afternoon. She got here in the oldest, rustiest cage I've ever seen , so out the door it went (maybe an outside cage?) and I brought the spare one I had inside for her. She seems very comfortable so far. She hasn't said anything yet, although her old dad told me she talks a little. We'll see. It's only day one.
Here's the only picture I got so far. Everytime I let her out of the cage, she flys to my head I've already gotten Lucy poo in my hair today New nickname???? Lucy-poo...sounds good.

very pretty

if the cage she came in has any rust I'd pitch it - not worth the risk

Exactly what I thought. I am going to do a little research about how to refinish it and what is involved in powder coating. If it's not a real expensive DIY project, I think I might as well as least give it a shot before I pitch the cage. I'm very ambitious about do it yourself stuff.

I think having it professionally done is a bit expensive but i'm not sure - specially since every state varies

I was given some cages a few years ago that had sat out side, after much research and finding that KRYLON spray paint is supposed to be safe, we decided to give it a shot

did everything right - the scraping it all down, washing it, making sure it was dry etc.

Sprayed thin layers on drying well in between each one

I sat them out side on the picnic in the sun for several days (it didn't rain) to make sure they were dry and any fumes were gone

I picked one up to carry it in the table was maybe 10-15 feet from my porch, by the time i got to the porch you couldn't tell i ever painted it , Paint chipped off every where

it looked like some one took a small wire brush and just ran it down the cage hitting and missing - the cage was originally white we painted it light blue so it was more blue and white striped by the time i got it into my kitchen
and every one we painted did it i was ticked off

the paint said Adheres good to metal - don't know what metal they were talking about but it sure didn't
