My birds are bathed daily. My husband put a cool- warm air vaporizer next to one of the birds cages, when our climate weather goes from warmth to cool. Is it needed to have this device used, Advise
Probably not a bad idea. Relative humidity drops rapidly once the furnace kicks in, and the dry air can promote respiratory problems, both in birds and people. The extra humidity will make your life more comfortable, even if the bird could get along without it. I vote for the humidifier.
Every year when the weather changes from warm to cold my husband put a vaporizer next to the birds cage?

Your husband sounds like a really sweet guy! I just put my humidifier out set on 40%. We only have a dog and a cat but it stops the static electricity building up in their fur. And it’s good for everybody’s breathing in the house.

Not a bad idea, in winter the air gets really really dry and it can irritate a bird’s skin. Sounds like a good idea to me as since the air doesn’t just bother the skin it cna iritate a bird’s repritory system just like it does ours. We use one all thoughout winter because it gets so dry.
