Exclamation Rocky's Cage, Concerned

After a lot of reading other threads about cages I came across a post about cages from Ebay, somone had asked a question about it and then there was a comment made about how cheap those can be made and that they can contain a lot of lead and zinc. I did a lot of research before we got Rocky and new to stay away from cages that had zinc or lead in them. Now I am questioning my cage purchase, the add said it was bird safe, but is there any way for me to tell. Can you buy a kit that can measure the amount of zinc or lead in a product? I am freaking out, because I don't want to kill my bird, but I don't have the money to replace a cage right now.

Im sure you will be OK, although I dont know if there is a kit where you could do such a test at home, maybe if you scraped a little off? I hope all turns out OK.
