A LOT of my SS items are magnetic... MP and EH skewers/corkscrews... the tray on my Wingdow stand (but not the rest of it). :huh:

Probably just a cheaper grade of stainless steel.
As John so kindly told me.. they do provide stainless steel but a cheap grade to increase their profit margins and at the same time they make you feel good for purchasing stainless steel.:)

:eek: Wow!! Just looked them up. Very reasonably price for Good quality stainless steel cages.
i ordered and returned and cancelled AA ss last month. I was willing to buy it every two years as it rusted out...Jackson and L Scoot love it so much!But....
Bar spacing advertised as 3/4" was as much as 1" in several areas :eek: (on the new ones. my old ones are perfect). On being asked it was stated it's just an approximate measure give or take some percent....
Too bad because like i said i was willing to discard every two years....

Excellent thread. How often have you had an inside cage start to rust? How many cages do you think a bird gets in a lifetime? We are always searching for the perfect cage. I would love a stainless but my bird is too small.
What kind of bird do you have?

custom!
I have a 40" custom made with 5/8" bars.
You can get any spacing you want!

Saroj ..

I remember that thread, you were so disappointed, you spent hours cleaning and setting them up, only to find out the problem with the bar spacing after all the work. :mad: :(

As much as I love my Avian Adventures cages .. I think if I were to go "stock" SS cages, I'd have to look closely at A & E .. they seem so nice, and you have been quite pleased with them.

Oh.. :eek:

Well.. I'd like to share some very disheartening and truly disappointing news with you all. I decided to try a magnet on Sachi's Custom made cage and it held like a pig in manure.:( It was a very bad day for me when I realized that I paid for a VERY expensive POOR quality stainless steel cage.

This applies to the whole cage except the tray. :(This is truly disappointing because when one purchases a *CUSTOM MADE* Stainless steel cage, they expect and trust that their hard earned money will be used on the very best possible.:(

Otherwise, why bother with custom?
