I'm not sure about a list of safe metals but I'll see if I can find anything. You could possibly do a google search for bird safe metals. That should bring up something I think. 620-704-9109 Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives. What you see online is only part of the story. I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears.

I have tried googleing it and the only thing I found was a site that said it was fine, but then went on and said Galvanized is fine also, so I don�t trust the site. Also, what string do you all use for string beads? Is regular nylon twine with singed edges ok or does it need to be 100% cotton? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />
