Bird Safe Heater Options

[ChristopherBradly]

Title says it all. We live in a rural area; our house was built in the 70s without central heat and air. I am looking for some good quality bird safe heaters. I am hoping I can find a good one that won't break the bank because I am probably going to have to buy five of them, yes, five. Ouch. If anyone can share what they use I would be very grateful. Also, bonus points if I can find them on amazon. The only stores we have here are Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply and Walmart.

I am also looking to buy another air purifier, so if you have one you really love and seems to work better than others then share a link here! Thanks!

I live in South Central Texas. The setup here is for air-conditioning. The heat in this older house is inefficient. I've tried a variety. What works best and doesn't break the bank in cost or utilities is oil filled radiant. The special oil is sealed and no refill. Oil heats, warms 'fins' or surface, cold air touches gets warm, moves away and is replaced by more cold air. The heat is constant. Because warm air moves naturally away fewer hot or cold spots.This means less worry about heating element getting hot and fumes. No fan also means lower utility costs. We have open living and dining room combination. Half again as large as 2 car garage with two patio doors. One unit kept that area cool but comfortable. There is Delong (spelling). I have Pelonis for bedroom (geared for smaller area). Purchased from HomeDepot and Lowes. They come with tip shut off, remotes and more. I block area when my CAG is out. If I go in living room she wears her leash. You'll have to figure out how you want to configure your areas.

The only type of space heater that is safe is oil filled. I have one of these:

PELONIS PHO15A2AGW, Basic... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NBHV5F5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use the oil filled radiator type on the enclosed "porch" where some of my budgies live. They work well but the suu tequila

I use the oil filled radiator type on the enclosed "porch" where some of my budgies live. They work well but the surface gets hot and if a bird landed on it he may be burned. Since they're electric, your electric bill will suffer some. Hopefully you don't live in the far northeast or upper Midwest.

That's brand I have for my bedroom. It works great. Can't remember if it was from Lowes or HomeDepot.

Lowes doesn't currently carry that brand but they have other brands that are also good.

I have a Lancaster Air Purifier. It's 20 years old and works like a charm! It's been on almost 24/7 for that time. You don't replace filters - you vacuum them out. Works very well!!
