Air purifier for african grey

[Africangreylover2009]

Hello evryone, I just wanted to ask what is the best and cheapest air purifier for an african grey? By cheap, I mean really cheap. Like around 50 dollars. But even if it is above 50 dollars, please still post.

Hi there, I have 3 large air purifiers. I got mine at costco for roughly $50 years ago when they were being discontinued. Usually the larger ones are more money. I needed them for the square footage. Mine all have the hepa filter. They work, and my filters are full or dust and dander. I am replacing the filters constantly.

Craigslist/facebook marketplace are other places to check if you want something for cheap.

HEPA filtration is what you want to look for.
And avoid air ionization that can’t be turned off.
Ionization is bad for birds.

I need it because i researched and it said that air purifier are mandatory for parrots because they shed lots of dust. I dont know how true this is but i just want to be on the safe side of everything.

Gray's are dusty, but my 500+ gram Double Yellow-Headed Amazon is likely as capable, if not more capable of causing dust.

When one is looking at 'researching a subject, it is vasty more important to assure that your source(s) are not those that have a reason for their position, Example: If it is my job to sell air purifiers I would state that they are 'Mandatory'!

Have changed your filters for your heating/cooling system more than once a year? Have you considered upgrading that filter's abilities and changing it more than twice a year?

I use a Honeywell air purifier and it’s still working well after several years. Depending on the size, it’s more like $100 but I use off- brand hepa replacement filters which work fine, so maintenance costs are pretty low. No ionization either. A member of my household is allergic to birds so an air purifier is a must. I really do think it helps.

The HEPA Air Purifier I have, a Lancaster, was under $80, 13 plus years ago. It is likely in the 100 $ range now. But it's awesome. Still going strong all these years later! I vacuum out the filter and it's good to go.
