I ordered an air purifier that's supposed to arrive tomorrow. It's an Austin Air with HEPA filter and doesn't have an ionizer and releases no ozone. Is this something I need to run for a few days away from the birds before it's safe to use around them? And if so, how long do I need to run it before it's safe?

To be honest I would say not really as it shouldn't get warm/hot should it? You could put it on in another room for an hour as a check its as it should be.

I have an austin air and I run it 24/7. Even when I first started using it. So you should be fine.
