Parrot dust does & will cause allergies to be worse. I don't know how they can say your child was not allergic to birds. How would they test, as each species of parrot is different? Many end up on allergy meds after they get a parrot. So any of the "powder" birds (Cockatoos, Afrrican Greys) would add to this problem. The best I can explain the "powder" is like tossing talc powder under a ceiling fan running on high. No kidding! We run two floor size air cleaners & still have a ton of parrot dust on everything & I mean everything.
