I posted here (rec.pets) last week asking for advice in choosing
a bird.  Thanks to all the help I got, I found a green-cheeked 
(I think) conure that seems just right.

Unfortunately, it turns out my roomate's girlfriend is (allegedly)
allergic to birds.  So this week's question is: what can I do about
it?  Is there any way to keep the bird (ie keep him in one room, 
bathe him a lot...) that will neutralize his affect on the 
aforementioned girlfriend?  One pet store I went to mentioned some
kind of "anti-allergy" spray that is now available for dogs & cats 
and should be available for birds by the end of the summer.  Anyone
have details about this?

PS: he'll be on sale next week.

Thanks,
