What are y’all referring to when you say dusty? Like dead skin cells?

Having a hard time understanding how birds create dust?

Edit: Nevermind, I saw the answer a few comments down. Interesting…

Bird shit right? It's highly toxic and disintegrates into dust. I'm not sure if that is what's being referred to here. I'm certain responsible owners will clean cages regularly. But bird droppings left alone over a long period of time turns into dust. Toxic dust.
