thanks for the support I have been wondering about this "allergic reaction" for some time, it seems to be rather sporadic and worse some times more than others which seems a little odd. she has gone for testing this week so will be interested to see the results. I am cross as she is asthmatic and smokes!!! so doesn't seem to be doing anything to help herself? I rather wonder if it is to do with her being annoyed she can no longer come to visit! Archie is such a character and it pains me to think he will be outside and not chatting at me all day. We have had him 6 years now. I wonder about these air filters, does anyone have any further info please? many thanks shelley

Hi there my mother-in-law has an allergy to our african grey, and although she stopped coming to our house, she says she is still getting an allergic reaction (tight chest) when we go to visit her. I am lothed to part with our grey as he is such a lovely bird and great company. The only option we can come up with is housing him outdoors in an aviary linked to our garage so he will have shelter in the garage with an outdoor pen for flying. I wonder if any one has any advise for this, will he be warm enough in the uk, we live in the channel islands so we have milder winters? do we need heating in the garage? will he be lonely on his own? Any help/advise would be great! many thanks shelley
