You may want to try cleaning it. The aluminum is not painted, it is anodized a chemical process that is far more durable than paint. Screens are no longer made of aluminum, which over time oxides and turns to brittle dust. They are likely nylon, which also gets brittle with age.

I think I would call a pro. I've done screens for myself in the past. A bird cage is far beyond doing one screen.
