Managing Bird Dander Problems


Bird dander can be a huge issue for those who have opened their home to pet birds. All warm-blooded animals including birds shed dander.

These invisible flakes of dead skin are a continuous and necessary process for making way for newer, healthier skin.

In the wild this dander dissipates into the air without becoming an air quality issue for birds. But in captivity there is no place for these particulates to go.

After months of shedding the air in your bird’s room and in your home will literally become thick! So unless you develop a plan for actively removing from the air, it can cause huge health issues for both you and your birds.

Bird air passages are tiny, so it doesn’t take much to clog them. Once they are clogged, disease and infection often set in. Because birds instinctively do not show symptoms of weakness until they are close to death, sickness often cuts their lives short.

People who suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions often find the increased level of particulates cause their condition to worsen to the point of not being able to tolerate a bird in the house. And even people who have not previously had problems can develop a sensitivity because the dander levels are so great.

You can keep all who live in your home healthy by actively filtering the air with a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) air purifier. Not only will this remove particles that your bird generates, but other normal household irritants as well including dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores.
