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

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
