burning scented oils?

[as1720]

I ushualy burn scented oils from bath and body works this time of year but with a new parrot in the house im not sure if its safe or not?

 

They are slatkin & Co. Home fragance oils.

 

No ingrediants or anything on the bottles. I just burn them over a tea light thingy.

 

Anyways if any one knows if these are safe or not please let me know!

No, they're not safe at all. All scented candles have chemicals in them which holds the scent until they're lite. Even candles that have no scent to us still aren't safe. The only place to burn candles is in an area in which the scent can be immediately go out of a window. That's usually another room far away from the birds. The smell of scented candles lingers in the air long after we can't smell them after being put out. So owning a parrot does have a few small drawbacks which is any type of scented candles or scented cleaning products which can't be used because the birds can smell them.<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2009/09/28 19:57

I no longer use any kind of candles, scented oils or air fresheners. They are not safe for birds.<br><br>Post edited by: Char, at: 2009/10/11 19:50

Its a small price to pay for the priviledge of having the wonderful companionship of parrots, saves some money too as most of them things don't come cheap.
