Parrots As Pets

I am sure you have all heard the saying - 'Parrots have more personality than a goldfish'- and while this is very true, there are a few home truths to be known about parrots before rushing out to buy one as a pet.

 Parrots are amazing animals, because, like a dog, they have the ability to become a very close companion for you. But it is far easier to train a dog initially than a parrot. Parrots are sensitive creatures that must be looked after and nurtured, and the more love and attention that they are given, the more their individual personalities will shine out.

 Remember that a parrot is originally a wild animal and that is is meant to be living out in the forest. Therefore they can be dangerous at times and also temperamental. Although it is not possible to send a bird that has been domesticated back into the wild to fend for itself, you will need to make sure your bird is given lots of attention and kept stimulated to avoid it becoming stressed and bored, which can result in it pulling out its feathers.

 A word of caution - do not buy a parrot for a small child. Parrots have very sharp beaks that can cause some serious damage if one is not careful. For this reason they need specialised training and handling initially, so that they can be taught not to bite or attack.

 If you are looking for a parrot as a family pet, you may need to change to a dog for this, because most parrots only bond with one person and tend to be aggressive or just ignore other members of the family. They can also get quite possessive over the person that they have chosen to bond with.

 An Amazon parrot is probably one of the most aggressive, and would make the least suitable family pet. If it is a family bird you are after, rather go for a budgie or a cockatiel.

 If you do not like a noise, then a parrot is not for you. Parrots tend to be very vocal and this can irritate some people. This is another thing that you will need to train out of them and it can be done with patience, but they will still be quite noisy at certain times of the day, even once they are trained.

 Make sure that you purchase an adequately sized cage for your pet, as they do need a fair amount of space to move around in, and it is cruel to keep them in a cage that is too small for them. Make sure to keep your bird out of the wind as birds hate drafts.

 A well trained and cared for parrot can be a wonderful addition to your home and your life, and they can give you years and years of joy, as they have a long life span. For more information on parrots, visit: http://parrotsaspets.

Air for Pet Birds

The air that you provide for your pet bird must be kept clean continuously if your bird is to enjoy a happy, healthy life.

In captivity air that becomes heavy with dust, dander, feathers, and dried fecal material can mean a slow and agonizing death for your bird and for you to watch.

Air clogged with particulates can easily clog their small air passages, and this is often the first step towards disease and infection.

Because they instinctively hide signs of illness, it is often too late once symptoms appear to return them to health.

An air purifier that contains a filter that is good at taking out particles is a must. And it would be great if that same unit also contained a filter that is capable of removing gases, chemicals, and odors would be a good thing too.

A unit with the ability to remove both gaseous and particulate pollutants would give your bird the cleanest air possible.

PurerAir.com offers a purifier that contains a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter as well as 2 pre-filers for a wide range of particulate removal.

And this same cleaner contains a carbon cloth filter that is yet another filter that is good at removing particles. In addition, it is able to filter gases, odors, and chemicals because of its carbon make-up.

Give your bird a good life by providing clean air 24 hours every day with the air purifier for birds at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Air Purifiers and Birds

One of the most important things you can give to your bird is clean air. And clean means taking out the invisible particles of dander that are constantly being shed to make way for new, healthier skin.

It also means reducing the amount of airborne feather dust, and even normal household pollutants that are found in the cleanest of homes.

Because birds air passages are so small, they can easily become clogged. Without clean air, the dander, dust and feathers that they produce simply get recycled and the air literally becomes thick with particles.

These particles also carry bacteria and viruses that can be inhaled by both you and your bird, and they can cause illnesses that are bad news for all who live there. Because the particles that your feathered friend produces are constant, taking them out of the air needs to be a constant process as well.

Professional aviaries continue to use the air purifier that we offer here at PurerAir.com—the Bird Dust Air Purifier. Used by the Joshua Rescue Foundation and the Aviary at Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Florida, it can work for you too.

Made of steel with a powder coat finish, it’s only by product is fresh air. Designed to run 24 hours a day safely whether you are there or not, it will continually reduce the number of pollutants and increase the quality of life you are able to provide for your bird.

Managing Bird Allergies

There is nothing more heart breaking than adopting a bird only to find that constant exposure sends your allergies into overdrive. Before you begin to try to find a new home for your bird (perish the thought) here are a few suggestions that will reduce the number of allergens to which you are exposed.

Other than completely avoiding your bird, the next best thing is to reduce the number of triggers to which you are exposed. Wear a mask while you clean with a damp cloth and mop to keep the particles from going airborne again.

You can further remove those particles that do go airborne (and nothing will get rid of all of them) by continuously filtering the air with a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting air cleaner. This type of filter removes bird dust and dander as well as other household pollutants such as household dust.

It’s important to remove these pollutants before they can clog your bird’s air passages. Their airways are so small that it does not take much to cause a blockage. This often leads to disease and infection, and the results are often hard to reverse.

PurerAir.com offers an allergy air purifier designed to remove both bird-related pollutants and other common allergy triggers.

Eliminating Bird Dander Effectively

If you have a bird you realize how much your feathered friend is depending on you to provide a healthy and stimulating atmosphere. In the wild the additional particles of dander (flakes of dead skin), feathers, and dust dissipate into the air.

The birds are also able to fly to various locations so they are not forced to breathe air that is clogged with particles.

In your well insulated home these bird-related particles will remain in the air unless you take steps to actively remove them.

Dander is not good for your bird to breathe because it clogs their air passages. This restricts the amount of oxygen they receive, and can cause the onset of disease and infection.

Dander is not good for humans for many of the same reasons. In addition, the protein in the dander is a potent and well-known allergen to which many people are sensitive. Exposure to large amounts of dander for prolonged periods of time can cause even those who were not formerly sensitive to become so.

Because of its small size, these flakes of skin are hardly visible, but your bird’s normal activities such as preening, flying, flapping its wings or just playing with a toy can send these fine particles into the air in addition to dust, and bits of feathers.

Continually filtering the air is the best way to effectively clean the air for you and your bird. A HEPA (or high efficiency particle arresting) filter is the best type of filter to eliminate airborne particles. This technology is designed to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that are .3 microns or larger.

This means that not only the dander and other bird-related pollutants are removed but other normal household pollutants too. These include dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, seasonal pollens, and bacteria and viruses.

PurerAir.com offers a portable, plug-in air purifier that offers a 4-stage filtration process. This cleaner continues to be used by professional aviaries such as the Joshua Rescue Foundation for Birds and the Theater of the Sea Aviary in Islamorada, Florida.

If it works in aviaries, it will surely work for you. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dander_air_purifier.html

Happy New Year from the Birds

Saroj, a PurerAir.com client, who is obviously a bird-lover purchased an air purifier from us in May 2009.

This morning when I awoke to 2010, I found these pictures waiting for me.

The message is one I’d like to pass on to you!

Happy New Year!

Birds of a Feather

You know the old saying---Birds of a feather…? Well my 6 year old is going through the joke phase right now. So I decided to join her by asking, “Do you know what they say about birds of a feather”? She did not. So I filled in the blank for her. Birds of a feather need an air purifier! She laughed and said, “Oh Mommmm!”

On a more serious note, the fact that pet birds need an air purifier is no laughing matter. Indoor air in our homes is often filled with dust, dust mites, pollen, odors, gases, and airborne chemicals that are not healthy for us and can be devastating to a bird’s health.

Adding to those pollutants are the ones generated by any bird’s natural growth and development—mainly feathers, dust, and dander. Even though these particles are present when birds live in the wild, they are able to dissipate into the atmosphere without causing a problem.

In our homes, unless we take proactive measures to correct it, these pollutants go round and round through one vent and out the next without any way of getting out of the air. As a result, the air becomes thick for you and your bird.

For you this may result in allergy and asthma flare ups, and in rarer instances the spread of what some call Bird Fanciers Lung—a respiratory condition that affects humans when they inhale airborne dust from bird droppings.

For your bird, these airborne pollutants clog air passages which lead to illness and disease that often go undetected until it is too late to reverse the condition.

Using a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) air purifier for your bird is the best way to keep your home healthy for all. That’s why PurerAir.com offers an air cleaner that will work 24 hours a day to keep you and your bird happy and healthy.

Air Purifiers for Bird Lovers from PurerAir.com

Attention all bird lovers. PurerAir.com offers an air purifier for bird lovers that will clear away small and large pieces of feathers, feather dust, and bird dander. The Bird Dander Air Purifier will literally clear the air for you and your bird, and make your home a healthier place for all. How?

The Bird Dander Air Purifier is a high efficiency particle arresting (H.E.P.A.) air purifier that removes airborne pollutants down to .3 microns in areas up to 700 square feet. Feathers, dander, and dust are all larger than .3 microns, so they are easily, and constantly removed by the Bird Dander Air Purifier.

Other all too common household pollutants are also removed like dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pollen, bacteria and viruses. And while viruses are generally smaller than .3 microns, many of them travel by attaching to larger airborne pollutants such as the ones above. So by removing these pollutants, you are also removing a huge percentage of the viruses in your home as well.

For your birds, this clean air should translate as overall good health with fewer respiratory infections and diseases, and reports of clear air passages from your vet. And for humans, you should see less asthma and allergy symptoms, fewer colds, and be able to see how clean the air is when the sunlight illuminates the air in your home!

Designed with birds (and bird lovers) in mind, the Bird Dander Air Purifier emits zero ozone which has been determined to be harmful to people, birds, other pets, and the environment.

It is made of steel so even the strongest beak cannot damage it, and it has a motor that can run 24 hours a day, every day for only pennies a day to keep up with the constant particulates generated by your feathered friend.

And as if that isn’t impressive enough, this air purifier for bird lovers is guaranteed to last 5 years, and has filter that comes with a 5-year prorated warranty.

And because the Bird Dander Air Purifier has 4 filters working for you rather than just one like many other air purifiers on the market, you can expect to change the filter in 5 years!

Maintenance is as easy as vacuuming the outside of the purifier several times a month to pull big particles away from the pre-filter. This bit of maintenance will help your filter last even longer.

PurerAir.com continues to send the Bird Dander Air Purifier to the aviary at Theater of the Sea, and Broad Bent Wild Life (for birds), both of which probably house far more birds than you do. It has proven to be effective for them, and we are sure it will be effective for you too!

For greater cleaning capacity (up to 1500 square feet), we offer the Pet Dander Air Purifier. And if you need an air purifier for pet urine odor, we offer the Pet Machine Air Purifier which also cleans 1500 square feet.
