This is a high quality chain.  We inspect the quality of the plating and chemically test it (and all our metal hardware) to ensure your bird's safety.  All our chain is zinc-free.

Plan to use the chain in an outdoor area or near a sea coast?  We recommend stainless steel chain (sold at the bottom of this page).  For indoor use, nickel plated chain.  It's economical and bird safe.

SEE
NOTE (BELOW) AND CHAIN NOTES BEFORE ORDERING

Order Stainless Steel O-Rings

IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you order the extra small 1.6mm
chain, you may want to purchase 16mm stainless steel
O-rings (to fasten to the ends of the chain). 
The smallest stainless steel pear quick link does NOT go
though the opening on this chain (put them through the
O-rings  instead). 

CHAIN NOTES: 
1) We sell LONG LINK (LL) chain.  'Short' link is a round shape link, and long link is longer (oval shaped instead of a circle).  The oval shape makes it easier to get an O-ring or quick link through the same gauge/size chain.  
2) The size (such as 1.6mm, 2.0mm, or 3.0 mm) is the gauge (thickness) of the metal rod used to make the chain.  Conversion: 25.4 millimeters (mm) = 1 inch  Example: 2.5 mm = 1/10 inch
