Parrot Dander and Dust

All parrots shed dander, or dead skin. It’s their body’s way of continually renewing the skin so that it is able to effectively fight off disease and infection. However, all parrots are not created equal when it comes to the dust they shed.

There are some parrots, often called powder-down parrots that shed a fine white powder-- these are mainly the African Grey, Cockatoo, and Cockatiel. And whereas they are all incredibly beautiful birds and wonderful companions, they can add a ton of extra work in the clean up department.

Breathing this white powder is not good for you and is definitely not "for the birds". Inhaling this powder can cause your bird’s already tiny air passages to become clogged. Clogged airways often lead to disease and infection that is hard to recognize until it has progressed. And because birds instinctively hide illness, too often once the symptoms are apparent; it’s too late to save the parrot.

Getting the dust and dander out of the air has to be one of the first priorities when owning any bird and the Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com is equal to the task.
