HEPA Filter For Birds


A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter by definition must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particulates that are .3 microns or greater, with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.  This type of filtration is safe and produces no ozone or ionized particles.
 
And since birds typically produce invisible, micron-sized dander as well as other visible pollutants such as dust and feathers, it makes sense to have a cleaner that is effective at removing these airborne particles. 
 If you are lucky enough to own a powder down bird such as a Cockatoo, African Grey, or Cockatiel you are dealing with a white powder in addition to all the usual particles that our avian friends can produce.
The HEPA filter is a very specialized filter and should be really used just to eliminate invisible particles.  So multiple filters that can remove the bigger particles would save the time and expense of having to constantly replace this expensive filter.
The Bird Dust Air Purifier is set up with this concept in mind.  There are 3 other filters in addition to the HEPA that are designed to remove big to medium size particles.  These are known as the large and medium pre-filter. 
And just as the name implies they are filters that come before the HEPA, so they are the first line of defense against the visible particles.
The presence of these additional filters means that you will have fewer filter changes, and longer filter life.  In addition to the HEPA and 2 pre-filters, this air cleaner also contains carbon cloth which has dual advantages. 
Because this filter is made of carbon, it can remove noxious odors, gases, and airborne chemicals; and because it is woven like a cloth, it can remove additional particles.
With a 4-stage filtration process, the Bird Dust Air Purifier will go a long way towards keeping the air clean for your birds and you.

Portable Parrot Dander Filter


Eliminating dander from the air that your parrot breathes is crucial to its good health and quality of life.

In-house filters are often not equipped with filters that can adequately eliminate these microscopic pieces of dead skin.

All birds shed dander and this is a very natural way for their bodies to make way for newer, healthier skin that is better able to protect them against disease and infection.

This is a process that will continue for as long as you have your bird.

As long as the amount of dander in the air is kept to a minimum it is not harmful. It is only when the levels reach such high concentrations that it can cause problems.

For birds that are forced to continually breathe these particles because of the lack of clean air, it can clog their air passages. And clogged air passages are often the start of disease and infection.

In humans it is the protein in the dander that often triggers allergies and asthma. Constant exposure to it can cause sneezing, coughing, congestion, runny nose and watery eyes.

Clearing the air is healthy for both birds and humans and airborne particles are best removed with a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter. By definition, this type of technology must remove 99.97% of particles that are .3 microns or greater in size.

It can also remove normal household particles as well including dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and dander from other pets.

Filtering Bird Dander


Bird dander can be a major health issue for both your bird and you. These microscopic flakes of dead skin can cause serious respiratory issues for birds because they have such small air passages.

Dander also functions as carriers of bacteria and viruses that, when airborne, can be inhaled and/or ingested by all who share the space.

Actively filtering the air of bird dander and dust is a health concern that is addressed by professional bird people by continuously filtering the air with a filter that is able to trap airborne particulates and viruses. Continually filtering the air insures that particulate levels remain low and do not cause problems that can prematurely shorten life spans of birds in captivity.

PurerAir.com continues to supply the Joshua Rescue Foundation for Birds as well as the Theater of the Sea Aviary in Islamorada, Florida with medical grade air purifiers that do just that. Keeping air passages of both birds and humans clear can only have positive results for all.
