Here is a link to an article written by a guy learned about this the hard way and nearly lost his cockatoo: http://www.happybirdy.com/faq.htm. This should answer any questions about testing and how to read the results. By the way, the aviary sounds GREAT! Patty Hey Connie,

I am thinking about using dog kennel style panels that have been pwoder coated, 8 guage for my Macaw with 1" spacing. My avian vet suggested I make sure the powder coating is low in zinc of course. He said I should find a material that is under 50ppm zinc and to make sure the powder coating is electrostatically applied. I hope this info helps others...
