I have been told now by two contractors not to do so, as it won’t hold up well in a few years, since it is exposed to rain and the elements. I am going to stain my driveway later this month, and one contractor recommended I just carry that stain and design into my birdcage, as it will last much longer with less upkeep/care than if I put down epoxy that he said will chip and discolor in a few short years.

I am interested in what other TOTV villagers have done that have a birdcage with a floor that is exposed to rain.

As usual, thanks for your helpful advice.
We put in tile that matches the tile in our home.
