birds & air freshiners

[Quantos]

Ok, I know that oils & sprays are a big no no with birds, the only one I know that is safe is cenimon sticks themslef.

Are there any others that are safe ?

I have several Glade Plug-Ins around my house, one of which is about 10 feet away from my bird. No problems whatsoever.

Anyone mind a post revival?

Birds are long-lived creatures, and we all know it's hard to spot when one isn't feeling well; they also have a respiratory system that allows for a slow suffocation. So while the bird may not die tomorrow, and he may live for years to come, it's still likely he's suffering/agitated and will have a life cut short if you use commercial air fresheners. I can't tell you how many clients I've had whose birds have gone from nasty or very lethargic to friendly and active with the simple remedy of removing chemicals from the air. A bird isn't wont to tell you, but often they're a lot more bugged than we think.

Don't use commercial air fresheners, instead you can set out cut citrus fruits as well as baking soda to absorb odors, and if you really need to freshen the air you can place all sorts of fruits, spices, and extracts in a slow cooker. Keep your home well ventilated and use filters.
