Parrot Dust Control



Uncontrolled parrot dust is one of the biggest health risks for pet birds and their owners. In the wild this dust would dissipate into the atmosphere or the birds would be free to fly away.

Neither is true for those who live their lives in our homes.

All parrots are not created equal when it comes to the amount of dust they produce. The African Grey, Cockatoo, and Cockatiel produce the most dust.

This is a natural part of their growth and development and helps keeps their wings healthy.

But unless this dust is constantly filtered from the air, it will eventually clog their tiny air passages and make it easier for disease and infection to gain control.

Because birds instinctively hide symptoms of illness, generally by the time owners recognize that their bird is not well, it is often too late to reverse their condition.

And for humans, constantly breathing these particulates can exacerbate allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions. And cause problems for those who were healthy.

Filtering the air with multiple filters for particles is the best way to continually minimize dust, dander and other household pollutants that will cause their health to suffer.

The best type of filter for reducing particulates is a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter. In order to receive this designation, the filter must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or larger.

In order to keep this filter from filling prematurely, a purifier that is to be effective at controlling parrot dust should have other filters that can trap particles of varying size. This saves the HEPA for microscopic pollutants and saves you from having to change filters frequently.
