Filtering Bird Dust Feathers---6 Features Your Air Cleaner Should Have

Having pet birds in your home add lots of fun to
life. They can also add dust from feathers,
wings, and dander. Add this to the normal indoor
pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and
mildew spores, and seasonal pollen and you've
got air that is thick with particles.

Your pet's health will depend heavily on the
quality of air you provide for it. So it is
important to use filtration that can take out
these particles as well as gaseous pollutants.
Here are 6 important features that filtration
for your bird should include.

HEPA Filter---High efficiency particle arresting
filters are designed as such because they are
able to remove airborne particles as small as .3
microns in size with a micron being defined as
one millionth of a meter. That size particle is
invisible to the human eye.

Because it can eliminate 99,997 out of every
10,000 of these invisible particles dust from
feathers and wings and the invisible dander can
be taken out of the air. And because the more
normal indoor pollutants are bigger that
sub-micron size they can be eliminated as well.

Pre-Filters---Even though the HEPA can remove a
large range of particle sizes, having it do all
the work would mean you would need to spend
money frequently on replacement filters---maybe
every 6 months to a year depending on what's in
your air.

By having several pre-filters (a large and
medium size) you can save the more expensive
filter from filling needlessly with particles
that can just as easily be removed by the larger
and less expensive filters. These cheaper filters
save you money and time and are one of the best
ways to determine how much maintenance your
cleaner will need.

Carbon Cloth---Gaseous pollutants can really
affect birds. Having a filter that can remove
gases, odors, and airborne chemicals is a huge
advantage. Carbon cloth gives dual protection.
Because it is made of carbon it can remove
gaseous irritants. But because it is woven like
a cloth it eliminates additional particles as
well.

Stand-Alone-Unit---A system that is not
connected with heating and cooling systems gives
you the most flexibility with filtration. It will
run during the in-between-seasons when heating
and cooling are not necessary. And since it will
clean the air that is closest to it first, being
able to move it into the bird room is a huge
advantage.

24-Hour Cleaning---This is probably one of the
most important features to have. Check to make
sure your unit contains a split capacitor motor.
This type of motor is designed to run
continuously with high revolutions per minute.
That means it doesn't need to take a break after
a certain number of hour of operation.

The key to keeping air quality high is never
allowing to become polluted, and the best way to
do that is to filter the air continually without
having to turn it on and off. Being able to
allow it to run keeps you from having to
remember to turn it on and off which can get
tedious after a while.

Natural By-Products---The whole purpose of
filtration is to keep your bird's air passages
(and yours too) clear. Because avian airways are
so small, they can be easily clogged by excessive
numbers of airborne particulates in the air. Once
their airways are clogged, it is often the start
of disease and infection that cannot be
reversed.

The only by-product of filtration should be
fresh, clean air. Stay away from units that
produce any amount of ozone or ionized
particles. Both of these filtration technologies
remain controversial in terms of how they affect
birds and humans and how effective they are.

Why take the chance? Everyone agrees that fresh
air is the best air to offer your bird and their
owners. 250 cubic of fresh air entering the room
every 60 seconds can only help you and your pet
live the highest quality of life possible.
