    Ionizer bad for my bird??

    Hi everyone, I am a new poster to the group but have been lurking for a while. I have got some good info from all of you and when this question of my birds health came up, this is the first place I thought to post.
    I have a 15 month old Congo African Grey, his name is Jango. I have had him for a little over two months now and it has been an amazing two months!! But when I first got him I noticed that my eyes burned and itched a lot. Turns out I have a mild allergy to all of the dander that he puts off. No big deal, I am willing to work through it. One step I recently took to try and combat the allergy was buying an Ionizer (electronic air filter). When I told the lady that fostered my bird before I bought him, she said that she heard somewhere that an Ionizer can be bad for birds. I asked her why and she couldn`t give me an answer. I honestly don`t see how it can be bad for them. It takes dust particles, bacteria, and pretty much everything else out of the air and I know that dust is bad for them. Any feedback you all could give me would be outstanding. Thanks a lot.

    harmful as far as I can tell. I have one in my birdroom near the filter and another in my bedroom to help with my asthma and have done for several years now.

    front of the owners manual that it generates a small amount of ozone. I am not even sure what ozone is! I know the ozone layer. Thanks for the input people.
