| Ooops! I will run the humidifier in the bird "room", not directly into
the bird!

| During the Winter I usualy boil water on my stove and this seems to
work but I have a small house 750 sq.ft. and my birds are in the front
room.

Not true! The cool air vaporizers are safe for children and pets.
The warm air ones may cause problems.
Every year at this time our grey's nose stuffs up to the point we
must take her to the vets for medication. Running a vaporizer
*continuously* is the only thing that helps (it's truely a PIA, but
we almost lost her one year). This year we're trying some herbal
methods. The folks at the health food store suggested eucalptus leaves
and some menthol-type oil. We heat it in a potpourri thingy. At least
it smells pleasant, we'll see if it works.

| 754.4 | Fish and Birds..... | AVIAN::KIRSCHBAUM | Every Tank Should Have It's Moray | Fri Nov 20 1992 15:10 | 14 |

Many years ago our eldest son had real breathing problems
in the winter, and one doctor suggested we set up a
fish tank or two.
The evaporation from the tank is usually enough to add the
needed water to the air.
We have had tropical fish ever since, and have yet
to run a humidifier in the winter....course we need
to run a dehumidifier in the summer...so I guess there is
no free lunch...
