Dander?  Reply with quote  

Ive heard that Greys have bad dander -- like teils? Ive meet a couple of them, never seeing anything like from a Too! So I figure no one better to ask then the experts Laughing

I have to dust daily in my house the dust builds up quickly! I tink the dander from the greys are finer than the toos. maybe the fact that I have two greys and two tiels kind of adds to the build up!

Well, I think that greys have more dander than my MM2.. But then again, perhaps my too isn't that dusty?

We have two CAG's. We have two air filters in our bird room. We have to clean them dialy...

We had a U2 foster bird in our house for 2 months. The dust he put off would turn my clothes white from just holding him.

The too's have to produce dust as part of thier feather maintainance. The Grey's are dusty.

So I would have to vote for the Too's

I have 1 Grey, and she is REALLY dusty! If I hold her close to my chest when I'm wearing black, my shirt will go white as if I've been playing with flour. I also have to dust and vaccum daily, it builds up really fast!

I have to take Meds when ever I am around Too's (one exception being Dawn, see my home page and you will understand) but Greys, no problem..
