Eliminating Parrots’ White Dust


If you have parrot that produces white dust, you probably have an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel. They are all incredibly beautiful and intelligent birds and they are all powder down birds.

You may or may not have realized exactly what that meant when you adopted, but it probably didn’t take long for you to understand more fully exactly what that meant and how much of a daily impact it would have.

This white dust is produced as a natural part of your avian friend’s growth and development and promotes healthy wings. And while you have good reason to be happy your bird is healthy, that doesn’t help much with the constant clean up that is needed to even stay even with the dust.

The most effective way to minimize the dust, and nothing will get rid of it completely, is to eliminate it when it’s in the air. This is a great plan for 2 reasons. First, if you can get it out of the air there is less chance for you and your bird to inhale it.

From a bird’s eye view, continually inhaling air that is thick with particles clogs air passages. Clogged air passages are often the start of illnesses and diseases that are impossible to reverse.

From the human side, constantly inhaling this type of dust can cause the onset of allergies, asthma, and possible nodes in the lungs. Taking it out while it’s airborne reduces the chance of all 3 of those nasties. It also means there is less dust for you to clean off of surfaces. And that’s a good thing.

See the bird dust air purifier that will constantly eliminate bird dust, other normal household particles as well as gases, odors, and airborne chemicals (all of which can be detrimental to your bird’s good health) at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Take good care,

PS Did I mention that the Bird Dust Air Purifier is also used by professional aviaries?
