If I'm allergic to cats and dogs, will I be allergic to a parrot?

Hello, guys, I'm going to get a skin test in a couple of weeks, but I'm just curious if there's a possibility that I might have an allergy for a bird? Or it's not relevant? Who has allergies to dogs and cats, but not to the birds? THANKS:-)

If I'm allergic to cats and dogs, will I be allergic to a parrot?
Parrots have a different type of "dander" than cats %26amp; dogs. Parrots give off a white colored powdered waxy dander that some people are allergic to, but it's a totally different type of material.





It is very possible to be allergic to cats %26amp; dogs, but not parrots.
Reply:probably not bc you arnt allergic to the animal..its their dander
Reply:no parrots have feathers not fur
Reply:I'm BADLY allergic to cats, but not to my birds. That's not to say you can't develop an allergy. Their dander is what you're allergic to. If in doubt, find a good allergist and get tested.
Reply:I'm allergic to cats %26amp; dogs, I had a Mitred Conure and he did not bother me... he did have dander all though...when you get your test done see if your allergic to feathers... that's how I found out I was...didn't get rid of the bird but the pillows and feather bed had to go!
Reply:I've owned and lived with dogs, cats, and birds. I've gotten used to my dogs' dander. Have a more severe allergy to cats (or the outdoor stuff they carry in on their fur, I'm not sure), but the waxy powder from bird feathers will almost stop me breathing. I had to find another home for a much beloved bare-eyed ******** because of the severity of my reaction.





It might be best to be tested specifically for a reaction to bird dander before you bring a bird home. Parrots are very intelligent creatures and suffer a great deal of loss and grief if they are separated from owners they've gotten used to. My ******** continued calling for me and looking for me for nearly a year after she was in her new home. I don't think she ever bonded with her new owners.
Reply:I do not know, i would ask your allergist when you see him/her. they can tell by doing a skin test.
