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.

I know of some paints that are somewhat safe around birds, but not stains. The advise that Kaedyn posted is what I would say.
