Is galvanized mesh the one with zinc? If yes, then it's a no from me. Birds may get zinc poisoning from chewing and injesting it. Stainless steel mesh (the one which is quite bendy) is the safest I think. They wont like chewing on it and its pretty hard too

The Internet says galvanized has a zinc coating on it?

If the wire has zinc, then don't use it!
