HEPA Filter for Parrot


If you are in the market for a HEPA filter for your parrot, you’re looking in the right direction. High efficiency particle arresting (most often abbreviated as HEPA) filters are very effective at removing particulates.

This type of filter can remove airborne particulates as small as .3 microns is size. This means bird dust, dander, feathers, and other tiny particles that your bird is constantly producing can be filtered from the air before they build to an unhealthy level for you and your bird.

The powder down parrots such as African Greys, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, and some Amazons are all gorgeous creatures. But they also produce an incredible amount of white powder as a natural part of wing health.

Allowing so many particulates to accumulate in your air forces you and your bird to breathe unhealthy air each day. For you this can mean the onset of asthma and/or allergies.

It can also greatly exacerbate existing respiratory conditions. In rare cases it can also cause Bird Fancier’s Lung Disease which is spread from dried pieces of feces that go airborne.

Unhealthy air for your avian friend can have dire consequences. Birds’ air passages are so small that they can easily become clogged. Once this happens it is often the beginning of disease and infection that is often not easily reversed.

If you have searched for this type of filter for your bird, I'm probably preaching to the choir. So take a look at the HEPA filter that professional aviaries are using now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Take good care,
