Parrot Dander Dangers

If you have a parrot or any type of bird, you have dander.  If you have a powder-down bird such as an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel you have bird dust as well.
These particles are constantly produced by birds, and unless proactive steps are taken to eliminate them the air quality suffers.  For people the result of breathing thick air is often an increased sensitivity where none previously existed.
This sensitivity often presents as sneezing, coughing, congestion, watering eyes, and a general feeling of being tired and uncomfortable.  It is the protein in the dander that can cause the onset of asthma, or exacerbate exiting respiratory conditions.
For birds, the danger of breathing air that is thick with dander and dust are even more perilous.  Birds have tiny air passages that clog easily.  When forced to breathe air that is not only thick with bird pollutants but regular household particles, it is easy to understand how their airways can become clogged.
Indoor spaces typically contain household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, and viruses.  When inhaled by your avian friend it can mean the start of disease and infection that is often not able to be detected until it is too late to reverse.
The Bird Dust Air Purifier has 4 filters that are specifically designed to eliminate a wide range of particles from the visible to the microscopic.  And the best news is that the only by-product is fresh, clean air for you and your bird.
Take good care,
