I have seen numerous air filters on this forum, and everybody seems to like the way they work.
Examples:
Hamilton Beach (decent non-HEPA)
Honeywell True HEPA (like the name says, a true HEPA)
Rabbit Air (Cadillac of air filters)
Up until now, my home computer has been my defacto air filter.
I have often thought to myself, a PC must have insulted Gandalf in a former life. His dust was terrible. A bit ironic that he was scared witless by my feather duster. I’m pretty sure my family thought I dusted every 5 years or so. Powder-based birds are messy! (But I love them anyway.)
So one more thing to add to my project list before getting a new bird: an air filter (or two).
I don’t have any allergies to parrot dander, so I’m pretty sure a full-on HEPA filter isn’t necessary. But it would be awful nice not to have to dust the TV and back of the couch every day.
Maybe I’ll try out an inexpensive one like the Hamilton-Beach. Any comments, suggestions, or other air filters you’ve had good experiences with?
