Parrot Dander and Dust

All parrots shed dander, or dead skin. It’s their body’s way of continually renewing the skin so that it is able to effectively fight off disease and infection. However, all parrots are not created equal when it comes to the dust they shed.

There are some parrots, often called powder-down parrots that shed a fine white powder-- these are mainly the African Grey, Cockatoo, and Cockatiel. And whereas they are all incredibly beautiful birds and wonderful companions, they can add a ton of extra work in the clean up department.

Breathing this white powder is not good for you and is definitely not "for the birds". Inhaling this powder can cause your bird’s already tiny air passages to become clogged. Clogged airways often lead to disease and infection that is hard to recognize until it has progressed. And because birds instinctively hide illness, too often once the symptoms are apparent; it’s too late to save the parrot.

Getting the dust and dander out of the air has to be one of the first priorities when owning any bird and the Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com is equal to the task.

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.
