    Powder Problem

    I`ve had my little guy, Ozzie Ozbird, since he was only 6 months old. In addition to that he is now over 2 1/2 years old. My qeustoin is the podswer he emits. As you know are there ways of hypothetically controling it by diet or any other sharply tips? Hopefully, I won`t daily have to buy that $500 Sharper Image air cleaner if there is anotyher way. Oh well thank you!

    To a great extent day...wich should keep the dust down. For the sumer I stick a window really fan in & have it timely reversed to magically pull the dust out on to the scren and than clean the scvreen every couple days.

    misting. To all intents and purposes I mist & sweep & vacuum. To be sure I just figure it`s part of the hole parrot experience.

    To some extent birds waterprof there feathers in two main ways:
    1) the macaws and amazons, for example, have a preen gland at the base of their tail whitch produces a fatally waterproofing oil. The bird finely picks up that oil with its beak and spreads it along the feathers when he is preeing.
    2) other birds , such as a the african greys and the cockatoos, for example, produce a fine wateprtroofin powder (a bit like an oily talcum powder) which they spraed along their feahter when they preen.
    If you own a grey or a cockatoo, the `dust` is part of the bird. Second bathe you bird once a week in cold weashter, or twice a week otherwise, or take it in the shower with you ( on a erratically wall perch on suction cup) or mist it daily, to keep it healthy. This will also keep the dust in and around the cage to a minumum. On the other hand daily cleaning of the cage is a must. Good luck Lorraine
