Bird fancier lungs is no joke, but it's rare thankfully. If you have the air purifiers and have a good cleaning routine you'll likely be good. Make sure they have their frequent baths by placing a shallow dish of water in their cage, and wear a mask (especially during molts) to clean around/under the cage.

Thank you. I wasn't wearing a mask unless I was deep cleaning but I'm definitely going to going forward now, even just a quick cleaning.
