Hi no I wanted to have a bird in my home. I thought some were not as dusty as others. I have been around my sons cockatiels and they are VERY dusty for me.

Re: best for allergies

If your allergic to your sons cockatiels then you will more than likely be allergic to all birds, as all birds produce dust - it is basically their way of keeping their feathers in good condition, an outside aviary would be the best option for you rather than an indoor bird. Although a tiny bird will not produce quite as much dust size for size - so a couple of canary sized bird might me OK if that is what you mean by some more dusty than others?

Re: best for allergies

oh yes cockatiels are little dust balls but all are dusty & if you have allergies, i wouldn't recommend keeping any in your home
we have to keep on top of dust dialy, wet wipe downs, hepa filters & were not allergic, however fancies lung is a constant worry
but you could allways enjoy a nice outdoor aviary, maybe with some finches & wear a mask when you enter & keep ontop of cleaning, they'll be lovely to interact & watch
