lovemybird!

Hello, I am a newcomer with a 5 month old Congo grey named Zuri.. I am a candle burner and wonder about whether or not I can continue burning candles in the room my bird is kept, or do I need to confine it to another room? Also, what about a fireplace in the winter? I want to protect those little lungs! As a bragging new mom I am tickled to say the little one has started talking. I get "good morning" in the morning. Uh Oh, and yesterday I got an I love you! Oh, and Zuri screamed my kids names yesterday! (Don't know where it could have gotten that) HA! Look forward to getting your replies, and if anyone has any new grey owner bits of info., tricks of the trade I suppose, I would appreciate it. Thanx!
