So the vet had recommended using a humidifier to help with Maddox's allergies so I wanted to ask all of you lovely people what your thoughts are. Are humidifiers safe for birds, and if so, how far should they be from the bird's cage?
I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be safe to use a humidifier near birds if it's maintained properly. Does anyone have an anti-humidifier theory?In my case my birds are in a very large room so my humidifier is inches away from the bird that needs it most (bingo).
the humidified air blows up not on my birds.
If your bird is in a relatively small room then it might not be necessary to put it really close.
I would experiment and put a digital temp/humidity monitor close to the cage (they don’t cost much) and move the humidifier as needed.
