Maybe 10 Keets and 3 Tiels can match your dust.


& this is running a filter system 24/7.

I run the air cleaner 24/7 also and what you have on your hand is what I get every week! And that is with bathing the birds constantly to keep the dust down!

I am not sure if this is of any help... when I owned the family home I had a wall removed and then put gyproc over some old pannelling. and of course it had to be sanded. I was told that due to the fact that the dust was so fine it would burn up a regular vacumn in no time and that the best one to get for very fine dust is a shop vac. no i dont work for them .lolol but i learnt the hard way..... and ended up buying a shop vac and it picke d up the fine dust with no problem......

Vacumes are fine for vacuming, 75% of this dust is air born, we use heppa filter Vacs here, the turbo kind, best fed vaccumes in the state of Minnesota but the real concern is the air born dust, we have several of those air filter units sold in Bird Talk Magazine, they have those little expensive lights that kill germs, the filters can be washed...all filtration systems run 24/7 and still we have a bird dust issue...baths/mistings 2 times per week.
Hummidifiers also run 24/7 in the winter time...
The TV's really collect the stuff well
