Aviary Air Cleaners


If you are a bird lover, you know that one of the best things you can give your bird is air that is as clean as possible. Of course this makes sense on an emotional level, but because of the way birds’ respiratory systems are made it is a must.

Birds have incredibly efficient respiratory systems which is both good and bad. But because their respiratory passages are so small, it doesn’t take much in the air to clog them. Once they become clogged, it is often the first step towards disease and infection.

Instinct keeps birds from showing weakness to avoid becoming prey to other animals in the wild. And even though they are in your home, that instinct to appear to remain strong can make it next to impossible to discover illness until it is often impossible to reverse.

Using the right air cleaner in your aviary to keep the air clear of particles and odors is the most effective way to keep you and your pet healthy. Bird dander, dust, and feathers are typical of the kinds of particulates your bird generates.

A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter is incredibly efficient at eliminating these airborne particulates as small as .3 microns. A HEPA doesn’t care about the source, so the good news is that it will also remove more normal household pollutants (typically allergens) like dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, and viruses.

This type of technology is safe because it only creates clear air. This is important for birds that are incredibly sensitive to gases and odors. Speaking of gases and odors, a carbon cloth filter is as efficient at removing gaseous pollutants as the HEPA is at removing particles.

Carbon cloth was originally created by the British Military as a defense against chemical warfare. This is an excellent filter to have in a cleaner for birds to help minimize the gases, chemicals, and odors that can hang around in the air.

Having multiple filters for particles all in one cleaner for the aviary is ideal. See the air cleaner for birds that has both a HEPA and carbon cloth filter, plus 2 other filters for particles now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html
