Yes, I keep mine set at 45% humidity. If you start going over 50%, you run into mold issues possibly.

[Lex]

what one is best?

[Lex]

3 in 1 Portable Air Cooler/Purifier/ Humidifier this any good?

Dave, a little background please. Why do you feel your CAG needs more moisture in the air? Is he itchy or have excessive amounts of dander?<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/06/24 00:31

I personally use the sears kenmore 6 gallon hundifier with No purifier. Thats strictly a personal choice.

 

The humidty is good for their general health, nasal passages, lungs etc. It also helps keeps the dander down a little more as well do to the increased humidity in the air.

she does stratch alot on the neck and has started to strip one half of a flight feather but no plucking. i do spray her twice a week and i`ve also ordered some Aloe Vera juice and i have seen posts on here of it helping.

[Lex]

i do tend to worry about her alot being new to parrots and want to make sure i`m doing the right thing. Problem is people have so many ideas and some say other peoples ideas are wrong this makes is hard..

Spraying with aloe atleast 2x a week until drenched will definitely help with the itching. :-)
