Air cleaners, greys dust, and macaw health question

[Michellec]

I have read online that you are not supposed to house greys and macaws. I have also read you can IF you have air purifiers.

 

Conflicting information. We are planning on ordering an Austin air cleaner before our macaw comes home.

 

What do you do?

 

Thanks,

 

Michelle

Hi there. It is right not to unless you have the air cleaner. I have 3 greys and two macaws in the same room with a cleaner. The macaws nasal is so large that all that dust goes right in there causing respiratory issues a lot of the time. Better safe than sorry.

Thank you for the response. Will make sure I order it in plenty of time.

Very important information, especially since I was planning to place our new Macaw baby's cage next to my grey's. I thank you!
