I've got an Alexandrine that is chewing the paint from her current cage & am in need of a solution but have limited funds.
The only appropriate size & wire spaced cages I can find in Australia are the Supreme 201 stainless for $1000 & the Feather land 304 for $3000, I can't find any other stainless & no aluminum at all..
Unfortunately I simply can't afford $3000 right now & would be stretching to pay $1000, my only other options are repair(s) with bird safe paint but I imagine she'll just chew that off quicker than the powdercoating or I could purchase a roll of 304 aviary wire and some bird safe raw timbers to frame it with, which will need maintenance as she chews the timbers.
I know 201 is less rust resistant but she doesn't bathe or splash in her cage so I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem? Thoughts?
