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

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.

Reducing African Grey Dust

African Grey parrots are some of the most gorgeous birds in the world.  They are not only good-looking, but intelligent, and many are able to speak with understanding. 

 But if you have one of these birds, I know I'm preaching to the choir.

Like all warm-blooded creatures they shed dander, but because they are powder-down birds, they also shed a white powder that can be daunting to control.

So between the normal household particles, the dander, and the additional wing dust that they create, the number of particles increases exponentially because of their presence. 
Unless this dust is continually removed, the air will become clogged with particles making it impossible to get a clean breath of air.
Because their air passages are so small, continually breathing these particles will cause their airways to become constricted.  This is very often the start of disease and infection that is often impossible to reverse.
These additional particles can also cause problems for healthy humans and can exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergies.
The only way to keep air quality high and particulate levels low is to continually filter the air with a high efficiency particle arresting filter. 
This type of filter is not only efficient but safe.  By definition it must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or greater in size.
The only by-product this type of filtration produces is clean air.  There are no worries about ionized particles or ozone.
PurerAir.com offers the Bird Dust Air Purifier that has a 4-stage filtration process to trap particles ranging from the visible to invisible.
If you have an African Grey, you owe it to you and your bird to clear the air.  See the Bird Dust Air Purifier from PurerAir.com now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

African Grey Air Purifier


African Greys are some of the most beautiful and intelligent parrots to have as pets. 

Many can speak fluently, and with proper care they can live over 50 years. 

Part of helping them enjoy a long and healthy life is about providing fresh air that is free of particles and odors.

Their respiratory systems are very sensitive to odors, and their air passages are easily clogged because they are so small.  Unfortunately, once symptoms occur that signal illness, it is often too late to reverse the condition.

The fact that these birds are powder down birds only adds to the challenge that you as an owner face in keeping the air clear.  All birds, in fact all warm-blooded animals, produce dander or dead skin flakes. 

But in addition to dander, the white powder that Greys produce can be daunting to keep under control.  But it is essential to minimize the powder and dander if you and your bird are to remain healthy.

An air cleaner that can stand up to this kind of particulate nightmare needs lots of different sized filters that can trap airborne particulates. 
The recipe for success in terms of filters should go like this--pre-filters for big and medium particles, a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter for micron-size particles like dander, and a filter for odors, gases, and airborne chemicals that can also trap particles.

This purifier extraordinaire should also rise above controversy and produce zero ozone and no ionized particles.  Fresh air should be the only by-product.

PurerAir.com offers such an air purifier for African Greys.  See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

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.

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.

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

Your Cockatoo’s Air Purifier


If you own a Cockatoo Parrot, you have a stunningly beautiful bird—one of nature’s most amazing creations. You also have a ton of white powder because they are known as powder down birds.

This dust is what helps keep the feathers healthy and beautiful, and yet it can make life pretty tedious for their owners.

First the dust is relentless. And if you’re not careful, not only does it cover all the surfaces in the room, but it makes the air thick.

This is bad for your pet because their air passages are so easily clogged. And restricted airways often allow infection and disease to gain control.

Because birds instinctively hide signs of illness to avoid being attacked in the wild, by the time you’re aware that your Cockatoo is ill; it is often too late to reverse the condition. So eliminating the powder can add years to your companion’s life.

This white powdery dust is not good for humans to inhale on a regular basis either. It is a potent allergen that can often cause allergies and asthma to flare, and can trigger respiratory conditions in those who formerly had none.

Continually removing airborne bird dust as well as other normal household particles will greatly improve the health of your bird and you.

Clean Air For Parrots


Keeping the air clean for your parrot is as important as providing fresh water and a proper diet. These birds come in all shapes, sizes, and colors with a variety of personalities to match.

But the common denominator for all in captivity (your home) is that they rely on their owners to take a proactive approach to clearing away the airborne dander, feathers, and dust they create.

In the wild these bird-related particulates would dissipate naturally into the air. In our home, and offices we are usually so well insulated that there is very little exchange indoor air.

And typically the air is simply passed from one room to another without a substantial number of the normal indoor pollutants being removed.

Household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, dander from other pets added to particles that parrots naturally generate, and it doesn’t take long for the air to become thick. This is bad news for the birds because their air passages can become so easily clogged when the air is polluted.

Using an air purifier to clear away particles and other pollutants continually is the best way to insure that your bird is always breathing the cleanest, healthiest air possible. High efficiency particle arresting filters are the best type of filters for parrots.

By definition these filters must remove 99.97% of particles that are .3 microns or greater in size. And a muti-filtration process that uses filters for particles and gases helps you easily identify the most efficient purifier.

PurerAir.com offers the Bird Dust Air Purifier with HEPA filtration and multi-stage filtration for gases and odors as well. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

African Grey Parrot Dust


If you own an African Grey Parrot, you’ve got one of the smartest birds on earth. They are beautiful, and the white wing dust that goes everywhere is part of the reason their wings stay healthy and look so gorgeous.

Greys are referred to as powder down birds because of this dust that helps keep their wings healthy; but it can sure make a mess around your house.

This powder is a fact of life for you for as long as you have your bird, and there is no way to completely eliminate it.

You can drastically reduce the amount you find on furniture and floors by continually filtering the air with a cleaner that is specifically designed to eliminate large amounts of particulates.

Literally clearing the air is not just a good idea because it will make your place look better, it really is for the birds! Breathing air that is thick with particles makes it more likely that their air passages will become clogged. And air passages that are constricted often make conditions right for disease and infection gain a foothold.

PurerAir.com offers an air cleaner that is used by professional aviaries because of its ability to clear the air. It's designed with a 4-stage filtration process that traps particles from the ones you can like dust and feathers, to ones that you can’t see like dander, bacteria and viruses.

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

HEPA Filter for Parrot


If you are in the market for a HEPA filter for your parrot, you’re looking in the right direction. High efficiency particle arresting (most often abbreviated as HEPA) filters are very effective at removing particulates.

This type of filter can remove airborne particulates as small as .3 microns is size. This means bird dust, dander, feathers, and other tiny particles that your bird is constantly producing can be filtered from the air before they build to an unhealthy level for you and your bird.

The powder down parrots such as African Greys, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, and some Amazons are all gorgeous creatures. But they also produce an incredible amount of white powder as a natural part of wing health.

Allowing so many particulates to accumulate in your air forces you and your bird to breathe unhealthy air each day. For you this can mean the onset of asthma and/or allergies.

It can also greatly exacerbate existing respiratory conditions. In rare cases it can also cause Bird Fancier’s Lung Disease which is spread from dried pieces of feces that go airborne.

Unhealthy air for your avian friend can have dire consequences. Birds’ air passages are so small that they can easily become clogged. Once this happens it is often the beginning of disease and infection that is often not easily reversed.

If you have searched for this type of filter for your bird, I'm probably preaching to the choir. So take a look at the HEPA filter that professional aviaries are using now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Got Airborne Parrot Feathers?


If you own one of the many kinds of beautiful parrots you surely enjoy many happy hours watching and interacting with your bird.

What you probably enjoy least is having pieces or feathers rain down on you and your bird. Not only is it unsightly, but regular inhalation of these particles can cause serious health problems for you and your bird.

Let’s talk about your bird first. Because their air passages are so small, it doesn’t take very much to cause a blockage. This restriction can trigger the onset of disease and infection which can greatly reduce their life span. And all too often, you’re not even aware that your bird is ill until it’s too late to reverse the condition.

As for you and the other people who share your home, the news is not much better. Routine inhalation of particles such as feathers, bird dust, and dander can all cause allergic reactions for people who formerly had no sensitivity. For people who are already allergic this can worsen conditions to the point that they are no longer able to tolerate a bird in the home.

The best defense is a good offense. And in this case that means taking the bird-related as well as normal household particles out of the air before they can reach disastrous proportions. The best type of filtration for reducing particulates is HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filtration. This type of filter is able to remove particles as small as .3 microns with 99.97% efficiency.

And because this type of filter doesn’t care what the source of particles is, it will also remove usual household irritants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and pollen, dander from other pets, and airborne bacteria and viruses.

Parrot Dust Filtration


If you own any bird, filtering the air to keep it clean is one of the best ways to insure that your bird has a long, happy, and healthy life.

If you have a parrot that is prone to producing the white powdery wing dust (Cockatoos, African Greys, Cockatiels), constant air filtration is a must.

Birds' airways are incredibly tiny and fill up very easily when in captivity if the airborne particulates are not constantly removed from their air.

Allowing their air passages to fill is often what causes the onset of disease and infection.

And many times because the problems can go undetected for so long, little can be done once your bird finally starts to show symptoms.

The powder down parrots mentioned above (as well as all birds in captivity) are counting on you to keep their air filtered so they can remain healthy, happy companions.

PurerAir.com offers HEPA (high efficiency particle arresting) filtration that offers safe (fresh air only), efficient, and continuous filtration for you and your bird.

We continue to supply this air cleaner to The Joshua Rescue Foundation for Birds as well as numerous other professionals and parrot owners. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

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.

Managing Parrot Dust


Parrots are exquisite creatures to watch and they make wonderful pets. So the extra cleaning and maintenance they require seems like no trouble at all.

But if you have an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel you know first hand that these birds are dustier than the average parrot. And minimizing the bird dust in the air is crucial if you and your bird are to remain in good health.

Removing the dust after it has fallen is great as far as it goes. Removing it from the air is even more important. Having your feathered friend breathe heavy concentrations of this dust day after day means that their air passages (which are already tiny) often become clogged. Once blocked, this can lead to disease and infection which often prove hard to diagnosis. Ultimately, many birds in captivity with the most well-meaning owners lose their lives because of unhealthy air quality.

Unless you actively keep the air clear of the dust, dander, feathers and other airborne pollutants you are also putting the humans who live in your home at risk. The airborne contaminants, like the dust, help bacteria and viruses spread from one host to another and in some cases can lead to respiratory problems in humans.

Make it easy on you and your bird and filter the air 24 hours a day to keep air quality high. The Bird Dust Air Purifier contains 4 filters that are designed to target and eliminate the airborne contaminants that result from living with a bird.

You are in good company when choosing this purifier for your bird and your home as many professional aviaries have come to rely on it as well. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Parrot Dust Air Cleaner


Lucky for the world, there are a number of different types and colors of parrots. All of them produce dander, but some also produce a white powder or dust that is a very natural part of their growth and development. If you have an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel you’re dealing with dust in addition to dander.

In the wild neither dust nor dander are a problem because they are able to dissipate into the air rather than build up in an enclosed environment. Inside your home is different. And unless you filter the air, these airborne pollutants are simply being recycled. Even though you may have a filter on your central heating and cooling system, it is not generally able to keep up with bird generated pollutants in addition to the normal household particles and odors it is designed to filter.

That’s why using a special heavy-duty, HEPA (high efficiency particle arresting) air filter will let you keep the air in your bird room clear of particulates. 24 hour filtration means your air stays clean and this avoids having your parrot’s air passages fill with dust and dander.

Keeping your bird’s air passages clear increases their quality of life, and can lengthen your parrot’s life as well. And since you live in the house with your parrot, you get to enjoy the same benefits of breathing clean air.

Take good care,
