What's the safest paint to use?

for refinishing animal cages? Specifically I want to sand and repaint an iron bird cage (parrot occupied) but I would also like to touch up a dog crate. Either way, the pets are going to chew or mouth the paint so it needs to be non-toxic, yet waterproof, strong, and hopefully not too expensive. You know, miracle paint!

Thanx in advance
