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.

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.

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.

Eliminating Bird Dander and Dust


By definition, dander is dead skin that flakes off your bird’s skin as newer healthier skin replaces it.

These flakes are virtually invisible to the human eye, but if you are sensitive to the protein contained in these flakes, it can send your allergies into overdrive fast.

Bird dust results from preening, and or disintegrated feathers that go airborne with movement from moving air caused by you or your bird.

Some birds, called powder down birds, produce more than their share of wing dust as a natural part of their growth and development. These birds include Cockatoos, African Greys, Cockatiels and some Amazons.

But the bottom line about both bird dust and dander is that they create an unusually high number of particulates in the air. This is not good for people and is worse for birds.

Because birds’ air passages are so small, it doesn’t take much to clog them. Once they become restricted, this often leads to disease and infection and many times causes an early death.

Continually filtering the air is the only way to take out the huge number of particulates and protect the health of both you and your bird.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier designed to remove bird dander and dust, as well as the normal household pollutants found in most homes. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html
