Nope, there's nothing you can do! They get everywhere. Vacuum a lot!

Some people use HEPA air filters to control the dust but the little feathers and bits of down do get everywhere. I don't use anything except the vacuum cleaner and multi surface wipes.

I have an Ionic Breeze that works pretty good. I bought one of those ozone guard attachments that converts the ozone to oxygen, so it's safe to put it pretty close to the cage. I think it does a pretty good job, considering I have to clean it every few days.
The only other suggestion I have is to bathe your bird as often as possible. If Nikko goes more than 2 or 3 days without one, he seems to have more of those little feathers and dust coming off him.

Sana,
PLEEEZE come to my house......I only get my house vacuumed about once a week. Between the bird dust, cat hair (Himalayan), and dog hair (daschund) it looks like a cyclone struck by the weekend when I can finally get to it!
I do have an air cleaner and it helps some.....at least I think it does by the looks of the filter when I clean it out!
I don't know if your FIDs do this, but when Jack is preening himself and a bit of fluff flies around......he does ANYTHING to catch it. It is really funny!
