I agree that stainless if is your best option if you want one that will last for the life of your fid. The price can be daunting, but it's better than having to buy new cages as the years go by.
You can get it cheaper at Bird Toy Outlet. The stainless is only a tad cheaper, but the powdercoats have a bigger difference. Either way, it isn't a huge difference, but every bit counts, right?

The Chiquita is under "Cages" in the "Medium Bird Products" section.
The best things in life are those who share it with you.
