We all want our pet bird to live as long and happy a life as possible. Filtering the air continuously is one of the best ways to insure a long life. Here are 4 reasons why an air cleaner can make such a huge difference. Removes Bacteria and Viruses-There are many bacteria and viruses that are airborne just with people in the house. Having birds in the house means the potential for additional germs that typically attack birds. Dried feces can also attract bacteria that attach to dried feces that can go airborne and affect both humans and birds. Since the usual method of operation for germs is to attach to larger particles to move from one host to another, most of these contagions can be trapped and removed with larger airborne particulates. Eliminates Particles---Birds anywhere generate lots of particles. In captivity are constantly generating dander (dead skin flakes), dust, and feathers with their usual daily activities and unless you filter the air, there is no way out for these pollutants. Add the bird-related pollutants to the usual household particles such as household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, hair and dander from other pets and the air can become unhealthy pretty quickly. Birds have incredibly effective respiratory systems, but there air passages are tiny and become easily clogged when they are forced to breathe air that is thick with particles. Clogged airways are usually the first step towards disease and infection. And because they instinctively hide signs of illness, it is often impossible to reverse the illness by the time your pet shows symptoms. Removes Harmful Gases----Years ago miners used canaries in the mines in order to have a sign of when air quality was becoming dangerous to breathe. When the canaries died, they knew it was time to leave the mines to avoid suffocation and death. As terrible as this practice was, it clearly shows how sensitive birds are to gases and odors. It also shows how toxic these gases can be to our avian friends long before it does any noticeable harm to humans. Using a purifier that can remove gases, odors and chemicals can safeguard your bird's health long before you are aware there is a problem. Keeps Its Owner Healthy----If you already have respiratory issues such as allergies and asthma, continuously clearing the air of pollutants, both normal and bird-related, will keep symptoms and flare-ups to a minimum. And a healthy owner is better able to raise a healthy bird.
