I am trying new things like repersitioning Air purifier
Is your air purifier properly rated for the size of room you have it in? For sufferers of allergies, at least 4 air changes per hour is recommended. A purifier described as for "medium" or "large" rooms might only achieve that in a small bedroom.

Some yes but Ekkies are meant to be non alergic hence I got one didnt realised they smelled musky apparently it can be there diet though
I would not say they are non-allergic types. There are no parrots that are hypo allergenic. They all have feathers and feather dust.

They are known for their musk smell. I am not sure where it was said that they did not have a smell or any musk.

Yes, the entire volume of air in the room should pass through the filter 4 times an hour for allergy control.

I did some digging and the 380 will only do a little more than one air change per hour in the max rated room size (roughly 25x25 with 9' ceilings). It is only going to provide adequate allergen control in a bedroom sized area. It's, unfortunately, a rather low powered air purifier when you look past all the bells and whistles. I looked into purchasing the same model. If you have it in a big room, it's probably doing little to nothing for the allergy situation.
