Kaedyn Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Stains give off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while drying--which could take a few days. If you can smell it, it's probably dangerous. If removing your bird from the home isn't an option, I'd at least make sure that the windows in the bird's room are open, to allow for fresh air. You'll also need to be careful that the fumes don't get circulated through the air conditioning system. As far as safe stains go, I've heard rumor some exist, but I have no experience with them. Also, what's considered safe for us, isn't always safe for our birds. It wouldn't hurt to consult your avian vet on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I know of some paints that are somewhat safe around birds, but not stains. The advise that Kaedyn posted is what I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
