Best bang-for-buck air purifier (prefer filterless) and full spectrum lighting
I have an old Honeywell air purifier, but to change the filter, I have to take the whole thing outside. Once opened, it looks like it got hit by a severe winter storm. At the slightest vibration, the Honeywell snows bird dander everywhere. I'm sure the Starks would insist on checking it for White Walkers and wights.
It would be nice to have an air purifier that doesn't need filter changes, but if such filters are out of my price range, I would settle for anything that works well without breaking the bank.
I've got a Kizzy Planā¢. It involves moving my bed to the living room and allowing Kizzy to occupy at least half of my bedroom. Her cage and play area will be situated by the window.She'll be able to look outside or retreat to her cage in the corner depending on the situation and her mood.
The other half of the bedroom will be my work area: computer, music equipment; arts and crafts, etc. I'll need good lighting for both Kizzy and me. I plan to hang transparent shower curtains between the Kizzy half of the room and my half. I'll need air purifiers / filters to control bird dander. I'll also need some kind of tree or play area for Kizzy on my side of the divide. She needs to feel like part of the family at all times. She'll needs Kizzy places in the living room, too.
The bed? It's going in the living room behind some privacy curtains.
For this to work, I need air purifiers and good, strong lighting.
Feel free to suggest items for the play area. I've already bought a grate I'll suspend from the ceiling. I'll hang some long "wacky perches" horizontally from it, along with a lot of toys. I also want a cargo net between her cage and the wall at a 45 degree angle. I've seen videos of Amazons going crazy on those things. She definitely needs one. Her climbing skills are finally improving.
If you can think of other ways to make Kizzy very, very happy at home, I'm open to suggestions.
I plan to make her very happy away from home, as well. She'll be going almost everywhere with me in her Pak-o-Bird while we continue harness training. I've resigned myself to the fact that Kizzy is going to be quite difficult to harness-train. I'll socialize her using the Pak-o-Bird. Once The Kizzy Planā¢ has taken effect, we can have visitors.
Thanks in advance.
