Stainess Steel Cage prices?

[Kia]

I need a stainess steel cage for my cockatoo so he can spend time with us out on our back patio. It has to be stainless steel to stand up to weather conditions as it wil stay on the patio al year round. Who has the best deals on stainless stee cages for those of you that have purchased one? I am looking for a non-playtop one, maybe dome at the top? Wanting the best deal possible...Thanks

Stainless does not always mean rustproof. I don't know if I would spring for the big $$$$ for stainless.

I don't know If I would,after hearing about some have rusted after 2 years They say to make sure they are hospital grade SS but still not sure

There are only a few cage companies that guarantee their cages against rust, workmanship, and welds for a lifetime. They are Freedom Cage and Northwest Cages. They are both two of the most expensive cage companies out there, most of their SS cages start at minimum $2,000 but probably closer to $3,000+ for a cage appropriate for a cockatoo.

The least expensive SS cage companies are probably Featherland and A&E, but they explicitly state that their warranties do not cover rust and I believe only cover 2 years... King's is somewhere in between in terms of cost but states that their cages will not rust, however their warranty does not always cover workmanship / welds.

I have to admit that a Freedom Stainless Steel cage is high on my wish list for Goofy. Originally I had thought as long as there was no zinc/lead problems with a fid I wouldn't buy a ss cage but Goofy is so hard on cages that having a lifetime warranty sounds so appealing.
