I have a cast iron chiminea at our home in Ohio but it is outside. I would think in a birdcage at the very least it would be messy as the smoke and soot would collect on the screen and rain would wash it back down to the pool/lanai deck. At worst is may damage the screen from any sparks that hit the screen. My brother has a propane fire pit with ceramic logs, they used it when they were full time RV'ers, and still use it at their home in N. Carolina. With the fire pit you get real flames and it burns very clean and of course no sparks to damage the screen, it puts out very nice heat also. I think for a birdcage that would be the way to go.
