Now starting to see a lot of rusting screws and a whitening of the bottom rails (not mold...more like calcium deposit).
I am not sure painting is a practical option. I am curious what others have done with their aging bird cage frame.

There is a company who will replace all the screws and put plastic caps on the new screw heads. They drill out the old screws and put larger screws in their place. If you have a bronze aluminum framing, try mineral oil on the finish - it brings back the original look and mineral oil is inexpensive. Power wash first! I replaced the screws two years ago, and my cage was 12 years old. Cost about $1400. Sounds like a lot of money but count the number of screws and then price TAP-On concrete screws. I thought it was worth it.
