Bird Exhibition cages are not pet bird cages, they are mainly a box with a 
wire front. The inside is painted white, green, blue (depending on species) 
and the outside including the bars black. Some canary show cages are all 
wire but still painted black, it makes it easier for judges to see the 
birds.
