I have always had a passion for birds.
I used to imagine that I was flying amongst the clouds with the birds and I even tried to build my own wings when I was little.
I wanted to have a couple of birds when I got my own home, but I didn’t expect to end up with over a dozen. I had a macaw and two grey parrots. I had several parakeets and a pair of love birds. I loved my birds, but birds really are dirty birds, especially when you allow them to fly free in the house. They weren’t able to fly far, but I wanted to give them some freedom. I didn’t realize how dirty they were until I came home from work one day and I noticed the odor before I reached the front door. It was horrible and I knew I had to do something. I called the HVAC company because someone had told me about an air purifier I could attach to my heating and air conditioning. The HVAC tech didn’t hide his aversion to the smell when he walked into the house. He told me about the air purifier and he checked the rest of the HVAC. He suggested I get air filters that are made for people who have pets and he cleaned the entire system. He told me that there were feathers and other bird dirt that was getting into the heating and air conditioning system and would eventually destroy my HVAC system. I am going to be trying to find new homes for my birds.
