Something to be aware of

There are a lot of people who suffer from this - and who immediately have to give their birds up. It's not poor hygiene - we, if sensitive, could get it from our birds - the sensitivity can be triggered via the dander too.

 

This is a really severe case, in that the girl needs a transplant - usually it can be controlled by steroids alone.

 

Another thing this highlights is SIGN UP TO THE TRANSPLANT REGISTER!!!

People who have Asythema, Emphescema, Chronic Bronchitis and other COPD problems may also get into problems if they have birds with excessive dander. But none of this has anything to do with poor hygiene. What the girl has is internal and isn't contagious.

Many greys and cockatoos are rehomed because of their extreme amounts of dander.
