Filtering Cockatoo Dust Effectively

Cockatoos are gorgeous birds, not only in looks but in the intelligence and companionship they offer. What is not so much fun is the white, powdery wing dust they produce.

This is a normal part of the Cockatoo’s growth and development, but it can sure make it hard to keep your space clean.

The wing dust is in addition to the dander that all warm-blooded birds and animals produce. These fine particulates can stay suspended in the air for quite a while which makes them hazardous to your bird’s health as well as yours.

Birds’ air passages are tiny and as such are easily clogged. Once clogged, this can cause the onset of disease and infection. Since birds instinctively hide illness, once they exhibit symptoms it is often too late to reverse the disease. Restricted air passages often cause the early demise of many birds.

As for humans, this dust and dander can trigger allergy and asthma attacks in those who already have respiratory problems. And constant exposure to so much of it can precipitate respiratory problems for those who were previously healthy.

These airborne particles can become carriers for small pieces of fecal material as well as bacteria and viruses. This is not healthy air for anyone!

PurerAir.com offers a Bird Dust Air Purifier that is specifically designed to remove the huge number of particulates that Cockatoos generate. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Cockatoo Dust Air Purifier

Cockatoos are incredibly beautiful birds. But they are powder down birds, as you have probably learned, and they shed an incredible amount of white wing dust. This is a natural part of their growth and development and will continue all the years you have your bird.

So how should you deal with the dust? Cleaning daily will help minimize the amount of dust in the room. Damp mopping and dusting, and vacuuming will clear away the huge number of particles and prevent them from going airborne.

It’s really important to keep these particles out of the air for you and your bird’s sake. Your feathered friend’s air passages need to stay clear. And because they are so tiny, being forced to breathe air that is clogged with dust, dander, and other more normal household pollutants will eventually cause a narrowing of the airways.

The air passages are then more subject to disease and infection. And often the conditions that result are hard if not impossible to reverse.

In the case of humans, continually breathing air that is thick with bird dander and dust can cause the onset of allergies and asthma. And for those who already have sensitivity to the protein the dust and dander, it can make it impossible to live with the bird.

In addition to cleaning surfaces, constantly filtering the air is a must. This should be done with a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter 24 hours a day. This insures that you and your bird have fresh clean air, and increases the chances that your bird (and you too) will live a long healthy life together.

Pet Cockatoo Care

One of the best ways to take good care of your Cockatoo beyond food and water is to provide clean, filtered air in the bird room. Keeping the air free of their wing dust, dander and other normal household pollutants will greatly reduce their chance of developing disease and infection.

Breathing clean air will also keep your Cockatoo’s air passages clear. And the caretaker at the Theater of the Sea Aviary in Islamorada, Florida feels that filtered air provided by the air purifiers from PurerAir.com is what has helped their parrots live way past the ripe old age of 60!

In addition, some of the diseases that Cockatoos are susceptible to can also be hazards to human health. So cleaning the air constantly just makes sense for everyone in the house.

When caring for a Cockatoo, you are probably already aware that not only are you dealing with dander, but that white powdery dust from their wings. Let the filter absorb the dust rather than your lungs or those of your bird.
