Controlling Bird Dust

Every bird generates some amount of dust.  It’s just part of the total package when the bird that you love lives with you.  However, some birds are dustier than others.

If you have one of these birds you already know this.  If you don’t have one of these birds and you’re thinking about adopting, you should know about them.

The powder-down parrots include the African Grey, Cockatoo, and Cockatiel.  They are all absolutely gorgeous birds that produce a ton of white powder from wing dust.  And this name is so accurate.

Controlling is the key word because it is never going to go away.  It is a natural and necessary part of their growth and development.  And regardless of what you might hear, you’re always going to have some dust.

One of the best ways to control bird dust is by limiting the number of birds that you adopt.  You are also more likely to remove the dust when you clean with water.  Vacuum rather than sweep; and a unit with a HEPA filter will help prevent the dust from entering the air again.

Lastly, a proactive yet non-invasive way to drastically reduce the amount of dust in the air is to filter the air with a series of filters that can remove the white powder you can see as well as the invisible dander that is renowned as one of the most potent allergens there is.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com offers 4-stage filtration 24 hours a day.  This non-stop cleaning can clear the air for you and your birds.

Many of the powder down birds can live 30 to 50 years with the right care.  And providing clean air is a huge step towards that end for your bird, and you too.

Managing Cockatiel Dust


 
If you share your home with a Cockatiel,  you know their antics can literally leave you laughing in their dust. 

And if you own a Cockatiel you know that the dust isn’t a joke. 

They are wonderful little birds with huge personalities that create a ton of white, powdery dust.

Looking at the big picture this white dust is a natural and ongoing part of their growth and development.  You will always need to manage it for as long as you have your pet.  But if you’re reading this, you know that it’s easier said than done.
Cleaning with water, furnishing your room with furniture that allows dust to fall to the floor easily, and regular cleaning are all great ways to manage the dust.  But regardless of how much or how well you do these things, dust will still go airborne.
Once airborne, this dust is a hazard to the respiratory system of both you and your bird.  Your bird has tiny air passages that clog easily.  And clogged air passages in our feathered friends often lead to disease and infection that are not usually able to be reversed.  This single factor is the cause of far too many deaths that didn’t have to happen.
In people, this dust can exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergies.  Constant inhalation of high levels of this dust can cause the onset of conditions not previously a problem.
Continuous filtering of the air is the only way to reliably keep the dust and dander low without putting your bird at risk by opening windows that can introduce other pollutants, change the temperature, cause drafts, and in some cases even allow it to escape.
Not just any filter will consistently and effectively reduce the particulates in the air.  If you want efficiency then only a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) filter will do. 
In order to hold this designation it must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that are .3 microns or greater. So it can easily remove bird dust, dander, and other microscopic particles from the air.
PurerAir.com offers the Bird Dust Air Purifier as an effective and reliable solution for removing Cockatiel dust.  See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Powder-down Bird Dust

Powder-down birds generate an enormous amount of white powder that is a natural part of their growth and development.  If you have a bird like this you become aware of it pretty quickly. 

But just in case you’re wondering, the African Grey, Cockatiel, and Cockatoo are the main players in this category.
 
They are all beautiful, intelligent, and long-lived birds.  The powder will continue to be produced for as long as you have your bird.  And there is no way to completely eliminate all of it.
If steps are not taken to constantly take the powder out of the air, both you and your bird are breathing air that is thick with particulates and other irritants.  Since avian air passages are so tiny, it doesn’t take long for the thick air to begin to clog their air passages.
For birds, clogged airways are often the start of disease and infection since airborne viruses and bacteria often attach to airborne particles.  Because birds’ instincts cause them to hide illness, as owner you are often the last know that your pet is sick until it’s way too late.
For humans this dust can exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as allergies and asthma and can often cause the onset of problems that were not there before.
The Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com can clear the air for you and your bird.  See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Bird Owner's Air Purifier


If you own a bird or three, you know that you have a lot more particles in the air than most folk do.  Although their colorful appearance and personalities surely make it all worthwhile for you! 

But keeping the air clear with an air purifier is a must for the continued good health of your avian friends and you.

The first thing an air purifier must be is safe.  The only by-product you should allow your filtration to produce is fresh air.  Don’t risk any amount of ozone or ionized particles. 
These filtration methods are controversial and different studies show different results. There is no sense taking a chance until all agree on what the effects are.
The cleaner needs to be able to stack the deck against particles by having multiple sized filters.  The filters need to be able to eliminate the visible to invisible particles from the air.
The unit also needs to be able to run continuously to keep particulates from building to levels that are unhealthy for birds and humans.
From the birds’ perspective, having to continually inhale air that is thick with particles clogs their tiny air passages. This often opens the door to disease and infection which can shorten their lives.
For humans, air thick with particles can exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergies, and can also cause the onset of problems where none existed.
PurerAir.com offers the Bird Dust Air Purifier that can keep you and your bird healthier.  See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Dust Filters For Birds


Since dust comes in all sizes, it only makes sense that an air cleaner should have multiple filters sized to eliminate the airborne particulates that make up dust.
 
When you watch your bird, you know that one small shake of feathers can send an incredible number of particulates into the air. 
 
And even though you see a lot of particles (and you thought that was the bad news), there are probably hundreds of other particles that you don't see.
For those of you with powder-down parrots, you are all too familiar with the white dust that can settle on everything.  If you're wondering whether you have one then you don't! Powder-down birds include African Greys, Cockatoos, and Cockatiels.
If you have some other gorgeous type of bird, you are not off the hook for particles.  Bird dander is produced by all birds, and it is invisible to the human eye.  Yet it is one of the most potent allergens known.
The protein in the dander can send those with allergies and asthma literally running for air if the dander count is high enough.  And living with air that is thick with bird dust or any other kind of dust can create problems for those who formerly had none.
And the dust we're discussing is just "for the birds"!  There are normal household pollutants that no one can escape.  Dust mites, mold and mildew spores, seasonal pollen, bacteria and viruses are just a few of the particles can all add to the problem.
What is needed to keep dust and dander down is a unit that has multiple filters for particles, and one that has a motor that will allow it to run continuously.  The Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com does this and more.

Best Bird Room Air Purifier

Birds are probably more susceptible to bad air than humans.  So using an air purifier to keep the air clean is a must. 

Their small air passages make it so easy for particles to adhere to the wall of the tubes and eventually cause disease and infection if the air passages don’t become completely closed first. 
Not a nice thing to think about.
With that said the cleaner needs to work all the time to keep the air clean. Not only should it be able to clean bird-related particles such as feathers, dander, and dust, but more normal household particles such as dust, dust mites, seasonal pollens, mold and mildew spores, and bacteria and viruses.
And even though the cleaner is for the birds, it will also help their humans stay healthier too.  Constant exposure to such high levels of dander and bird dust can cause sensitivity where there was none before.
This can result in sneezing and congestion when doing daily maintenance.  Left unchecked this could cause respiratory issues that are a nuisance to deal with at best.
The cleaner should also produce only fresh air as a by-product.  It is important to avoid any level of ozone and ionized particles for the birds’ sake and yours.

Managing Parrot Dander

All parrots produce dander so managing it is exactly the right approach to take.  You will never be able to get rid of all of it, but by filtering the air with a cleaner that is designed to remove a wide range of particles, you can drastically reduce the amount in your air.

The reason you need a cleaner that has various sizes of filters is because dander is sticky stuff.  It will often attach to feathers, and other more normal particulates in the air that are bigger.
These bigger particles are very visible and include household dust, feathers, and bird dust.  By having a variety of filters, the particles that are visible are eliminated without having to use a finer grade of filter that is best used to eliminate micron-sized particles.

So what filters should an air cleaner for parrots included?  It should contain 2 pre-filters for large and medium size particulates, a HEPA (high efficiency particle arresting) filter that is designed to eliminate particles as small as .3 microns in size; and a carbon cloth filter that gives dual protection against both gases and particulates.

Many parrots produce mostly dander.  But there are some parrots that produce a white powder that can keep air quality consistently clogged with particles. 
Included in this group of birds are the African Grey, Cockatoos, and Cockatiels.  They produce this powder in addition to dander.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com has a 4-stage filtration process that is effective in taking out dander, bird dust, and other pollutants that may have dander stuck to them.

African Grey Dust

If you own an African Grey, you know how very special these birds are.  Whether you have a Congo or Timneh they are intelligent, many are well-spoken, and all are beautiful to watch!

What is not so much fun is the white powder that they produce.  It can cover everything in your bird room and even your home. 
And as unsightly as it is, letting this powder accumulate can cause health problems for your bird and the humans who love it.
The respiratory systems of your avian friend can easily become clogged when they are forced to inhale air that is thick with dust. 

Clogged airways make it easy for disease and infection to interfere with your birds’ health, and often it is impossible to reverse the condition.

Bird dust can also cause some health issues for humans as well including the exacerbation of allergies and asthma and the onset of respiratory problems that were not formerly a problem.

Cleaning with a damp moth and cloth solve the problem once the dust has fallen from the air.  But truly ddressing the problem means reducing the amount in the air so there is less to fall out of the air.

Filtering the air 24 hours a day is the most effective way to reduce the number or particulates in the air.  HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filters are best at removing particles that are as small as .3 microns in size.

The air cleaner you choose for your bird room should have multiple filters that are designed to remove a wide range of particulate sizes.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com offers 4-stage filtration and includes a HEPA filter, 2 pre-filters and carbon cloth.  We continue to send it to be used by aviaries and bird lovers around the country.

Keeping Dust From Birds

If you are worried about how dust affects your pet bird, you’re a good owner. 

And you are right to want to keep the amount of dust they breathe to a minimum.

Their air passages are so small that they can easily become clogged. 
A bird in captivity is depending on its owner to keep the air clean all the time to prevent particles from becoming lodged in their airways making conditions ripe for disease and infection.
Filtering the air with a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air purifier is the most effective and reliable way to insure that particulates remain consistently low.

And whereas bird-related particles are probably at the top of your list, there are also other normal household pollutants that they are exposed to as well.  Things such as dust, dust mites, seasonal pollen, and dander from other pets can also cause problems.
The HEPA filter does not care where or how the irritants get in the air, it is designed to take out all particles that are .3 microns or greater in size with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.

Exposing your birds to less dust exposes their owners to less which makes everyone healthier.

Avian Air Purifier


If you have an avian friend as part of your family, you certainly spend a lot of time trying to provide it with the best life possible. And one of the most important things to provide is clean air.

Normal indoor air is frequently full of dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, seasonal pollen as well as bacteria and viruses. Add a bird to the mix, and you’ve got air that is heavy with pollutants.

Birds have tiny air passages. Air that is thick with particulate and gaseous pollutants can cause serious problems.

In fact some gases are lethal, and breathing air that is full of particles can clog their airways.

Clogged airways are often the beginning of disease and infection. Birds instinctively hide signs of weakness that would indicate illness. As a result, many times by the time your bird shows signs of an illness, it is already too late to reverse the effects.

Using an air purifier to proactively clear the air is effective yet non-invasive. The best type of technology to use for particles is HEPA filtration. This type of filter is the same kind they use in hospitals, and can remove particulates as small as .3 microns.

Carbon cloth is another important filter to have because of its dual function. Not only is it able to remove noxious odors, gases and airborne chemicals but it can also give additional protection against particles since it is woven like cloth.

PurerAir.com offers an air cleaner that is safe for birds and can remove particles and gaseous pollutants from the air. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

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.

Bird Dust Case Study


Jackie called about the dust that her 30 year old Moluccan Cockatoo creates. She reports that when he flies about you can literally see a cloud of dust in the air.

In the rain forest he would get a bath everyday, but she said her schedule does not allow her to do that.

Of course she loves her bird and wants to clean up the air for his sake and her family. She says she had an ozone-producing air purifier, but she heard that they were not safe, and they didn’t really do the job. So she was looking for an effective cleaner.

Cockatoos, Cockatiels, and African Grey Parrots are powder down birds, which mean they produce wing dust above and beyond what is usual for other birds. Breathing air that is thick with these particles day in and day out can cause repiratory problems for birds and humans.

An air cleaner that only produces fresh air is the best solution. And it should have numerous filters that are designed to remove particles that range from visible to microscopic.

Having a range of filters means that not only is the dust removed while it is airborne, but invisible particles such as bird dander, dust mites, and other more normal household pollutants such as mold and mildew spores.

Being able to run the cleaner continuously insures that the amount of particles in the air stays low. This benefits you and your bird by making the air purer, and makes clean up less of a chore.

Nothing will remove all of the dust, but the Bird Dust Air Purifier comes pretty close. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Control African Grey Dust


If you have an African Grey Parrot , you have a beautiful, smart, and dusty bird. The white powder that settles over everything can be daunting. The dust is a never ending process that helps support the health of their wings.

Not only is the dust unsightly, but unhealthy for you and your bird. Continually breathing air that is thick with particles can clog their incredibly tiny air passages.

Clogged airways often allow disease and infection to gain a foothold. And unfortunately it is often impossible to reverse the disease.

For humans this powder can aggravate existing respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma, and it can also cause problems for those who formerly had none.

Filtering the air is the best, most reliable, yet non-invasive way to reliably take particles, odors, and gases out of the air before they affect your bird’s health. And it is important that the air cleaner be able to effectively eliminate both gaseous and particulate pollutants.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier from Purer Air.com is specifically designed with 4 filters to target particles that vary in size from those you can see down to those that are sub-micron in size. And because the 4th filter is carbon cloth, it can remove both gaseous pollutants as well as particulates.

Not only is this air cleaner used by thousands of homeowners with African Grey Parrots and other powder down birds, but it is also used by commercial aviaries such as the Aviary at Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Florida and the Joshua Rescue Foundation for Birds.

Eliminating Parrots’ White Dust


If you have parrot that produces white dust, you probably have an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel. They are all incredibly beautiful and intelligent birds and they are all powder down birds.

You may or may not have realized exactly what that meant when you adopted, but it probably didn’t take long for you to understand more fully exactly what that meant and how much of a daily impact it would have.

This white dust is produced as a natural part of your avian friend’s growth and development and promotes healthy wings. And while you have good reason to be happy your bird is healthy, that doesn’t help much with the constant clean up that is needed to even stay even with the dust.

The most effective way to minimize the dust, and nothing will get rid of it completely, is to eliminate it when it’s in the air. This is a great plan for 2 reasons. First, if you can get it out of the air there is less chance for you and your bird to inhale it.

From a bird’s eye view, continually inhaling air that is thick with particles clogs air passages. Clogged air passages are often the start of illnesses and diseases that are impossible to reverse.

From the human side, constantly inhaling this type of dust can cause the onset of allergies, asthma, and possible nodes in the lungs. Taking it out while it’s airborne reduces the chance of all 3 of those nasties. It also means there is less dust for you to clean off of surfaces. And that’s a good thing.

See the bird dust air purifier that will constantly eliminate bird dust, other normal household particles as well as gases, odors, and airborne chemicals (all of which can be detrimental to your bird’s good health) at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Bird Dust Air Filter


If you have pet birds you surely have dust. And depending on the type of bird you have, you may have more than your share. All birds create dust from movement in and out of the cage.

Dust from seeds, feathers, preening, and flying can all combine to increase the number of particles in the air.

If you have a powder down bird such as an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel you also have to contend with the white, powdery wing dust that these birds generate. It can create an eye sore as well as a health hazard for you and your bird.

Clearing away bird dust without the proper tools can send more dust into the air. Having your bird breathe air that has unusually high numbers of particles can cause their airways to become clogged. This is often the start of disease and infection that is hard to detect and even harder to reverse.

Bird dust is also a powerful allergen for those who suffer with asthma and allergies, and can cause annoying symptoms and more frequent flare-ups which sometimes make it impossible to continue to enjoy your bird.

But before you throw up your hands in frustration, there is a safe, non-invasive, and effective way to drastically eliminate bird-related and normal household particles from your air. In order for a solution to be effective, it has to be continuous.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier with 4 filters for removing particles. The size of these filters is varied allowing them to remove not only the big particles that you can see but microscopic ones as small as .3 microns. And it's designed to run continually 24 hours a day every day.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier uses large and medium particle filters, carbon cloth, and a HEPA (high efficiency particle arresting) filter to remove not only dust created by your birds, but more normal pollutants such as household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria and viruses.

Bird Dust Allergies


Allergies of any kind can be difficult to deal with, but when you’re allergic to a beloved pet such as your bird, it’s heartbreaking.

For many types of birds such as African Greys, Cockatoos, and Cockatiels produce this dust is necessary to maintain the health, growth, and development of their wings. So if you own one of these birds, this dust is not going away any time soon.

The protein in bird dust is such a potent allergen that it can trigger mild to debilitating symptoms sometimes with just slight exposure to it.

Nothing will take away all of the dust, but you can drastically reduce the amount in the air by continually filtering the air with a purifier specifically designed to deal with high numbers of airborne particles.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier to professional aviaries and homeowners alike who want to keep the air clear of dust and other particles that birds in captivity generate. If it works successfully in aviaries with all of their birds, it will surely work in your home to help reduce your allergy symptoms.

Relief from Cockatiel Dust


Susan called from Pennsylvania today and said she had 5 Cockatiels.

And as much as she loves them, she said the dust was driving her crazy. “It’s on everything and everywhere,” she moaned.

If you own a one of these little parrots, you know that have a lot of personality but can also create a lot of dust. This is a perfectly normal process that keeps their wings healthy, but it can also trash your home.

The bad news is that as long as you own your bird there is no way to completely eliminate the fine white particles. But with the right air purifier, you can greatly reduce the amount in the air which will reduce the amount you see on the furniture and floor.

One of the nice things about an air cleaner is that not only does it remove bird-related particles, but more normal household particulates such as household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and dander from other pets.

To be effective, it needs to have filters that can deal with visible stuff like feathers and dust, and the invisible dander, bacteria, and viruses.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that is specifically designed to trap and eliminate particles. The four stage filtration continually sends air through a series of 4 different sized filters various from a large particle pre-filter to a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter.

You can see the cleaner that professionals and home owners have been using for years to keep the air clean for their Cockatiels at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

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

Managing Pet Bird Dust


All birds are not created equal when it comes to bird dust. It is natural for all birds to produce and shed microscopic dander (dead skin flakes), dust and feathers.

And these by-products of owning a bird will continue as a natural part of growth and development for as long as your bird is alive.

But there are some birds that produce a wing dust that helps their wings stay healthy. This is great for the bird but can wreak havoc with air quality and overall cleanliness of the bird’s room and your home.

Cockatoos, African Greys, Cockatiels, and Amazons are all powder down birds, and special care needs to be taken to manage the additional dust they produce.

The best way to effectively reduce the dust is to constantly filter the air. The best type of filtration for particles is HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filtration. This type of technology is used in hospitals to keep the air clean, and is able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or larger.

Using this type of filter will effectively reduce the dust and dander and give you a greater chance of keeping your bird’s air passages clear. Cleaning the air will certainly improve quality of life, and add years to your bird’s life (and yours)!

PurerAir.com offers the Bird Dust Air Purifier that is used by professional aviaries such as the Joshua Rescue Foundation and the aviary at Theater of The Sea in Islamorada, Florida.

If it works for them, it will surely work for you. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Eliminate Your Bird’s Dust


Birds generate fine particles or dust for a number of reasons. Dead skin flakes or dander and small pieces of feathers both result in increased dust in your home. There are some birds who in addition to dander and feathers generate a white wing dust that can literally cover the surfaces where your bird spends most of its time.

Dust from your bird is a natural part of its growth and development and will continue for as long as you have your bird. Because our homes are so well insulated, it is next to impossible for this dust to dissipate on its own.

The only way to effectively remove the tremendous number of extra particles that your feathered friend generates is to clean the air with a filter that is efficient at removing particles. This type of filtration is known as high efficiency particle arresting or HEPA.

Designed to remove particles as small as .3 microns, this type of filter can virtually eliminate both particles that your bird produces as well as more normal household particles like dust, dust mites, pollen, mold and mildew spores, and dander from other pets.

It’s important to remove this dust not only for your bird, but for the people in your home as well. The tremendous amount of particles can clog your bird’s air passages and cause illness and disease. And they can exacerbate allergy and asthma symptoms and cause the onset of respiratory issues for those who were formerly healthy.
