Im frequently asked; Why should I pay twice as much for a stainless steel bird cage? Thats a completely legitimate question, and I once asked the same question myself. Hopefully this article fully answers that question for you, because that is the purpose of this article. The very first and most influential answer I can give you is that a stainless steel bird cage will have three to four times the lifespan of a powder-coated bird cage. So in the long run, you are truly saving money. A quality stainless steel bird cage will be solid stainless steel all the way through, and the fact of the matter is that stainless steel will outlive the iron or mild steel used in standard powder-coated bird cages. The old saying you get what you pay for definitely stands true in the bird cage market. So, beyond a longer life, what additional benefits come with stainless steel bird cages? Here are some additional benefits to consider: Stainless steel cages are easier to clean. They can be pressure washed, and they have a slick surface that comes clean much more easily than that of a powder-coated cage. Stainless steel cages are completely non-toxic. Although nowadays most decent quality powder-coated cages are safe for your bird, that is because the toxicity levels of lead and zinc are at a low enough level to not harm your bird. In stainless steel cages, you dont have to introduce any of those toxic metals to your bird at all. Stainless steel bird cages look a lot better than powder-coated bird cages. If you want the room that your birds cage is in to be exquisite in any way, stainless steel is the material of choice. Rather than the cage being one of the less attractive items in your room, it can be the focal point.So when youre ready to buy your next bird cage, you should definitely consider a stainless steel cage. The only words of caution I can offer are to make sure youre getting a decent brand name. Some fly by night companies will offer stainless steel cages that they claim are 304 grade solid stainless steel, but they are not. Do not purchase a stainless steel cage unless you are completely positive that its 100% solid 304 grade stainless steel. Some of the top brand names are Kings Cages, Avian Adventures Cages, and Everything Birds Cages. If youre buying anything besides these brands you need to make sure that the stainless steel is true stainless steel.
