Dust

[nar1122]

My cockatiel causes a lot of dust and dandruff. Thats supposedly normal. And now that hes molting, its getting worse. There are little particles all in the air, everywhere.
I dont want it causing some kind of respiratory infection for himself, or Oscar.
For this, would I use an air purifier, or an air humidifier.

Also, is a humidifier good to use? Because i've read that they need humidity like they have in the wild.

I didn't know Teils were so dusty Nick. :confused:
I had a Cockatoo and, talk about dust!!! I followed that bird around with Dustbuster in hand. The sound didn't even scare him. LOL
He HATED showers and being misted so it was bad around here.
I have an air purifier but it didn't help much.:confused:

Okay thanks!
Umm I guess I will just have to try a purifier, and see how it goes.
Im not expecting it to work though.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

the steam kind are best - like a vaporizer
