I did some searching and never found the topic, and I think I know what the answer will be (disappointment to follow), but wanted to at least ask:
Are there any cages, outside of stainless steel, made for medium to large parrots, that have external food/water cups? My current cage has these and I find them useful (mainly to keep poop out of food/water), but have only found them as an option for a few BirdCages4Less stainless models.
While I love the stainless models that offer these external cups for options, the cost is more than double the powder coated option, and I live 50+ miles inland from salt water. So its an expensive and unnecessary option.
I am using a bottle system for water, so no soiled water with this soluiton.
But I need to update my cage to something larger and don't see any OEM or after market option for powder coated models.
Am I missing something, or are there reasons to keep cups inside the cage instead of cups that sit externally, but accessible from with the inside of the cage?
