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 lineolated parakeet went through this too.

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.

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

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