Lorraine H. asks

How do I keep my bird’s dander down?

Should I put a humidifier or air purifiers, in my birds’ room

Thank you so much for your help.

 

I am really desperate.

 

Thank you again.

What Humidifier Is Right for My Bird?

 

 

Build a DIY air filter for about $25

 

Hi Lorraine

An air filtration system will remove dander and feathers from the air but not reduce the output.

 

Melting coconut oil (5 – 10 seconds) in the microwave and then pouring over their daily diet will help.

 

Misting or bathing your bird on a regular basis will also help with powder reduction.

 

Information on pet bird bathing can be found here:

 

I hope this information helps.

 

Stay safe and healthy

 

Best
