I would like to know if anyone has a favorite air purifier that they use for their birds. I have cockatiels that are very dusty and sometimes their nostrils get clogged and inflammed. I try to spray them the best I can, but they are not always co-operative. Someone had mentioned to use an air purifier to help with the dust.Do they emit any chemicals I should be concerned about? Is one better than another or are they all basically the same? Any and all help greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!!
I’ve had my ionic breeze for awhile and really liked. It gave off a nice fresh air smell. I stopped using it (kinda forgot about it when I moved) for about a year. I then plugged it back in and ran it continuously for a week or more. Cleaning it when needed. All the sudden it started giving off this bizarre odor. I can’t really describe it except for it almost smells like dirty dish water. I stopped using it for about 8 more months because of this and then started using it in the room with my birds. It gave off the same smell. I cleaned it over and over and no difference. I decided if I ran it continuously maybe the smell would "work its way out". That hasn’t happened. Now after some googling I found out it is potentially unsafe. The stuff I read said it was ozone, but the ozone gave off the fresh smell. So what is giving off this terrible smell? It gives me headaches and now I’m worried for myself and my birds (2 budgies and a cockatiel). In the future should I go with an air filter/hepa filter etc? Thanks for any info about this mystery smell and a good course of action.
I have noticed that when I put my air purifier on for long periods of use with the ionizer on in the same room where my birds are, my bird starts to act strange. He suddenly has a night fright type reactions and also chirps differently, runs in a circle on the floor like in a panic or something.
He is a 13 year old lovebird and have never seen him react like this before until I got a new air purifier called Sharp plasmacluster ionizer.
My question is, is my bird being affected by this air cleaner somehow?
I have researched different filtration systems and I believe that some of them may still emit ozone even though they don’t specifically say. Has anyone used a particular one with an Umbrella Cockatoo and/or a Severe Macaw? This is a serious matter to me because I have asthma and I love my birds, so please, no puns or jokes. Thank you.
i need to use an air purifier because i own birds that produce a large amount of dander. i am looking for info on whether to get a purifier that ionizes or not.
I own a pet shop, i have a lot of birds i want the best for them! Thank You
I have birds is it safe to have the ionizer on?
thanks!
