Are budget wrought-iron cages from brands like Yaheetech, ZENY and VEVOR safe?

Mostly yes, with caveats. Verified-purchase reviewers and community members generally report the powder-coated finishes are non-toxic and hold up under normal use, but high-trust r/parrots threads are split: some owners report no rust or peeling after months, while others say certain Yaheetech units rusted quickly and that customer service was unhelpful. The common advice is to inspect the coating, keep it intact, and replace the flimsy included perches and bowls.
