From what I have heard of the water cleaner, it's quiet... however I don't know how efficient it is....

Many who have dusty birds tend to do frequent cleaning, have air cleaners (ionizers are hazardous), HEPA vacuums... some may even spray the cage papers before cleaning... thus to keep the dust/feathers down.

Hepa filters and daily cage cleaning is the best. However, a dusty grey is a HEALTHY grey.

One of the rescues I did an evaluation of had one.... in their Too and Grey room.
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!
Easy to operate, easy to clean, added humidity, and actually very calming...
I didn't see any dust.... and there were at least a dozen Toos in that room.

Yep a Good Hepa Vacume and a hepa air cleaner running 24/7 is a must for Greys, Too's and Amazons even Tiels can be quite dusty.

Thanks for the replies! Im getting a parrot soon and think Ill get a pionus or timnea,both are hard to find where i live.since its the season for babies ill keep checking the bird stores to see whats around . I love my friends timnea and she doesnt bother my allergies but its a consideration for me. I get hayfever and if I get a grey I know ill have to be super diligent about cleaning.
