Your Parrot's Air---5 Things To Remove That Will Keep Their Lungs Clear

Clean air for your parrot is just as important,
maybe even more important than clean water and a
proper diet. Here are 5 pollutants to minimize
in indoor air because the cleaner the air is
that your pet breathes the better the quality of
life will be for your bird.

Household Dust---These fine particles are
typically an accumulation of all sorts of
things. In a normal household they it can
include pieces of fabric, paper, and dirt from
outside and even fine pieces of metal shavings
that are produced when the hinges rub as doors
are opened and closed.

If nothing is done, these particulates fall out
of the air, but are made available to breathe
again and again with normal movement through the
house, or draft created by fans, and the air
conditioning and/or heating system.

Dander---These microscopic flakes of dead skin
are created by your birds, other warm-blooded
pets, and by humans. They are sent into the air
easily and if your pet is forced to breathe air
that is thick with these particulates, they can
begin to clog air passages.

The other important reason to literally "keep
the dander down" is that it provides an unending
food source for dust mites. These little bugs are
well known for their ability to trigger allergies
and asthma in humans, but their body parts and
excrement can also become airborne which again
is bad news for your parrot's respiratory system
and overall well-being.

Pollen---Most people think of this as only a
problem in the spring. But there is pollination
happening for the most of the year. Trees can
start the process as early as January. Grasses
send out pollen in the summer and weeds in the
fall. So the season has the potential of lasting
from January through the first frost which in
some places is as late as early December.

There is no way to keep all of these tiny spores
out of the house. And this is just one more
particle that has the potential of circulating
again and again making it available to clog your
parrot's air.

Dried Excrement---Is a fact of life with a
parrot. Cleaning the cage often can reduce the
amount that dries and can become airborne as
particles. These small flakes have the potential
of carrying germs that harmful to both birds and
humans.

In fact Chlamydiosis or Psittacosis is
transmitted from birds to humans in just this
way—inhaling dried excrement of an
infected bird.

Bacteria And Viruses---When airborne these germs
attach to larger particles to move from one host
to another. So by removing airborne particulates
you are also eliminating a substantial portion
from the air.

The best way to remove airborne particulates
that are .3 microns or greater is by actively
filtering the air with high efficiency particle
arresting (HEPA) filtration. By continually
scrubbing the air you can effectively clear the
air for your parrot which will go a long way
towards improving their quality of life (and
yours too).

Filter your parrot's air continually with a
canister of 4 filters (including a HEPA)
designed to remove airborne particles, gases and
odors. See it now at
