Hardware cloth for parrots

In building an outdoor enclosure for parrots, I plan to use galvanized hardware cloth. Now I'm wondering if it will poison the birds (parrots chew on everything).

Please do not use Gavinizing for bird housing. It's not a good thing I have seen birds that have been poisoned with it and go to to vet with no hope for the bird.

Use Stainless steel if you can find it 1" X 1" if you can find it or you may have to use still. Coated wire is not a good ideal.
