Parrot Dander Dangers

If you have a parrot or any type of bird, you have dander.  If you have a powder-down bird such as an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel you have bird dust as well.

These particles are constantly produced by birds, and unless proactive steps are taken to eliminate them the air quality suffers.  For people the result of breathing thick air is often an increased sensitivity where none previously existed.

This sensitivity often presents as sneezing, coughing, congestion, watering eyes, and a general feeling of being tired and uncomfortable.  It is the protein in the dander that can cause the onset of asthma, or exacerbate exiting respiratory conditions.

For birds, the danger of breathing air that is thick with dander and dust are even more perilous.  Birds have tiny air passages that clog easily.  When forced to breathe air that is not only thick with bird pollutants but regular household particles, it is easy to understand how their airways can become clogged.

Indoor spaces typically contain household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, and viruses.  When inhaled by your avian friend it can mean the start of disease and infection that is often not able to be detected until it is too late to reverse.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier has 4 filters that are specifically designed to eliminate a wide range of particles from the visible to the microscopic.  And the best news is that the only by-product is fresh, clean air for you and your bird.

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.

Parrot Dander Air Purifier

Parrots are beautiful birds.
But like all birds they shed dander.

These dead flakes of skin are nature’s way of replenishing old skin with new skin that is better able to fight off germs that cause disease and infection.

In addition, some parrots like African Greys, Cockatoos, and Cockatiels are powder down parrots, so in addition to dander, they continually produce a white powder or wing dust that helps keep these birds healthy.


So with some parrots not only is dander and feathers a problem in the air but bird dust as well.

In the wild these pollutants would dissipate or the birds would fly away and the dander and other airborne particles would make less of an impact on your pet’s health.

But in captivity unless these particulates are constantly filtered from the air, they can block air passages and cause problems for your bird, and problems for human family members as well.

A high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter is ideal for particles. By definition this designation means that it can remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or greater. That means it can easily eliminate the bird-related particulates that parrots produce.

This type of filter is also able to remove other more normal household pollutants because it doesn’t care about the source, only the size of the particle.

PurerAir.com continues to send the Bird Dander Air Purifier to professional aviaries across the country. Keeping the air clear of parrot dander and dust means happy, healthier birds.

Parrot Dander Air Filter

If you have a parrot or parrots as pets, you’re all set for entertainment, companionship, and lots of enjoyable memories to look forward to.

You’re also going to experience a lot of airborne dander. Dander is a perfectly natural part of your bird’s growth and development but in captivity can become a problem for you and your bird if it is not properly managed.

Dander is the small dead flakes of skin that are constantly being shed and replaced by newer, healthier skin. Being able to clear the air of this dander is a must if you and your bird are to stay healthy. But if you are searching for a filter for parrot dander, I’m probably preaching to the choir because you already realize the importance of clean air!

PurerAir.com continues to supply the Bird Dander Air Purifier to the aviary at Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Florida. They use this and the larger model for their beautiful parrots. They even boast a 60 year old Macaw, and the caretaker attributes their continued good health to their clear air passages which is direct of keeping their air filtered.

Asthma and Parrot Dander

You are probably just now only painfully aware that asthma and parrot dander don’t mix very well. But now that your parrot has become a very permanent part of the family, you are looking for a solution that will allow you to enjoy your bird rather than have to distance yourself from it.

Constantly filtering the air to remove the airborne dander is the solution. An air cleaner with a high efficiency particle arresting (abbreviated as HEPA) filter is best for several reasons. First, it can remove airborne particulates (which include but are not limited to dander, feathers, dust, pollen, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, as well as bacteria and viruses) as small as .3 microns.

So even though the dander may be the trigger that is causing asthma flare ups, removing all the other combinations of triggers from the air can only improve your health as well as your parrot’s well being.

And because asthma attacks are often triggered by pollutants that also cause allergy flare-ups, a cleaner that specifically targets airborne asthma and allergy irritants is best.
