Yes, there are a lot of indoor fireplaces in TV but a chiminea on the lanai in a bird cage is a different story. Unless you have some kind of spark arrester on the top of the chiminea to catch sparks, they could very well be stopped and trapped by the screen roof in your birdcage and damage it. You can get chiminea's with faux logs and fueled by propane that do not have sparks and still provide the mood and ambiance and warmth that you might want.
