Hi I am new here and would like to get a bird as I love them. I have some allergy issues and just wondering what would be the least dusty of the birds to get.Thanks for any info

all are quite dusty, will you be having an outdoor aviary?

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.

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?

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
