Eliminating Bird Dander---An Ongoing Process For Bird Owners

Birds are beautiful creatures, and if you live
with one or more of them, expect bird dander to
be a continuing presence in your life for as
long as you have your bird. You can, however,
reduce the amount to which you and your bird are
exposed.

Contrary to what some make think these dead
flakes of skin are invisible. They are
constantly falling off as newer healthier skin
pushes them off. It is the protein in the skin
that triggers allergy flare-ups, and if you are
at all sensitive to it, you don't have to see it
to believe it's there.

One way to minimize dander is to limit the
number of birds you have. This may be a tough
decision to make at first, but giving fewer
birds a quality life is better than not being
able to provide a healthy environment.

Another way is to provide them with water for
taking a bath. Like people, they each have their
own personality, and some will like the water
more than others.

For those that really like the water, installing
a perch in the shower for them is a way for you
to spend quality time with them and still give
them the opportunity to wash away excess dander
and minimize the amount available to escape into
the air. Besides, they won't be critical of your
physique!

Feeding your bird a healthy diet is another way
to insure that skin stays healthy and that they
do shed excessively because of poor health. Only
good things come from feeding your friend the
right stuff.

Changing the paper in the cage daily, and
washing the cage thoroughly is important. Dander
is sticky stuff so it can and does attach to all
sorts of particles like feathers, feces, and
food. So keeping a pristine cage will minimize
these particles as well.

Cleaning with water makes particulates heavy and
is more likely to keep the majority of them from
escaping back into the air again. This is
important for the health of your avian friends.
Their air passages are so tiny that it doesn't
take much for them to become clogged, and once
they do this can open the door to disease and
infections that are hard to reverse.

But one of the best ways to continually reduce
airborne dander is to filter the air with an air
purifier that has a filter that is specifically
designed to remove airborne particles.

The most effective filter for particle removal
is a high-efficiency particle arresting filter
often abbreviated as HEPA. This is the type of
filter hospitals use to insure clean air.

In order to be given this designation, it must
remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that
are.3 microns or greater in size. And the one of
the best things about this filter is that it
only produces fresh air.

This is important because other filtration
processes that involve ozone and ionization are
controversial not only because of their
effectiveness, but because of the possible
negative effects they may have on birds and
humans.

By clearing the air for your avian friend, you
also make the air healthier for the humans who
love and live with them. That will go a long way
towards helping all of you enjoy a long and happy
life together with your pet. Life is good.
