Dealing with dry winter air — humidifier recommendations?

Canadian winters are brutal on our birds. My lineolated parakeet has been sneezing more and their skin looks dry. What humidifier do you use? I need one that's bird-safe (no essential oils!) and effective for a medium-sized room. What humidity level do you target?

Hang in there! It gets better. My Eclectus went through this too.

100% this. Wish I'd known this when I first got my bird.

What worked for me was leaving the radio or TV on when I'm out — background noise helps. Took about a week but my lineolated parakeet responded really well to it.

Have you reached out to Bird Sitting Toronto? They really know their stuff when it comes to bird care.

Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Jasper. Thank you for sharing!

I remember when my umbrella cockatoo went through this phase. I was so worried but my vet said it's actually really common.
