So, I've been looking into macaws lately (very seriously!), and I've come across these two cages. These are all 80x40, double macaw, square top cages.
Why is the AE cage heavier than the HQ cage? I've read somewhere, most likely on this forum, about HQ being better in terms of cage quality over AE, with King's being the best (but they don't provide this sort of cage). Is this true, and if so, is this the sole reason as to why HQ is 100 dollars more expensive than AE?? And because HQ, supposedly, has better powder coating, by how many more years would it last in comparison to AE?
Sorry for the insane amount of questions, but I'd like to make sure that this cage is big enough for a macaw. I'm very interested in macaws for not just because of their size, but I've tried to interact with other birds, all of them have run away from me except macaws so... >.> (Cockatoos are out the question due to allergies even though I don't mind the noise [I had one scream RIGHT in front of me and I have lived to tell the tale ], conures hate me, not a personal fan of budgies....) I won't be acquiring a macaw very soon, but within this year most likely if macaws and I match up. I'm trying to get bitten by a macaw before I jump into this, but I guess the macaws I've dealt with are too nice, or I've been too much of a chicken to interact hands-on enough to get that bite.
TIA! ^.^
