Hi! Is it unsafe to dust with my bird in the same room? My wall unit is about 5 ft away from his cage and I would not use any chemicals and just a dusting cloth and keep as much fresh air circulating throughout the room. My bird is untame and I can move his cage, but I would rather keep him in as moving the cage stresses him out. Thanks!
[Dusting anon] oh and I would vaccum all the residual dust after dusting as well if that effects the safety at all.
Generally it’s best to move them out of the room, we don’t want to be putting particles in to their lungs if we can prevent them being there. It may not be a major problem but it’s still best to avoid filling their lungs with dust where we can. If it helps you may be able to coax him in to a smaller travel cage by pressing the doors of the cages together and shooshing him in so you don’t have to move the whole heavy cage or stress him out too much?
