Bird Keeper’s Lung?

Have you ever been tested for Bird Keeper’s Lung?
I have two parrots and my Grey, like all grey’s has a lot of dander. I believe my boyfriend my be allgeric to them. I was curious as to whether anyone’s ever been tested for this or been proven that their allergic to birds and what if any actions they’ve taken. ie medicine, cleaning, keeping or giving up their birds.
Thanks for the article and group discussion. I have been keeping the house extra clean and such since we thought it may be the birds. He’s pretty much allergic to everything. He’s currently working with his doctor to found out the true cause. So far they don’t think it’s just the birds, that it’s everything and that he may need to be on meds.

I have never been tested for it, but I have known of people with the condition. Here is an excellent article that may help you: http://petcaretips.net/bird-keepers-lung-disease.html
