How to Make a Safe Environment for Your Pet Parrot

Parrots are Sensitive to Smell!!! Scented candles and oils, as well as air fresheners and similar things, create health hazards to parrots. This is because they have sensitive respiratory systems that make them vulnerable to fumes and chemicals in the environment. As such, smoking isn't recommended whenever near a parrot. Furthermore, one is encouraged to wash their hands completely after smoking before checking a parrot. A parrot’s sensitive sense of smell can also somewhat affect your cookware choices. With a parrot in the household, Teflon and non-stick cookware should be eliminated and substituted with options as these things release an odorless fume that can be deadly to parrots. You'll apparently require investing in stainless steel cookware or alternatives without non-stick, like cast iron cookware.

1) Keep candles at bay. When using candles make certain the room is well ventilated to dodge Carbon monoxide poisoning!!




 2) Avoid artificial air fresheners and perfume. Spray perfume away from your parrot’s room, it is an excellent idea to turn your exhaust fan and utilize the perfume in the bathroom. Air fresheners have chemicals that cause annoyance in your parrot's respiratory system and most parrots are allergic to such things.

 

 3) Don't smoke inside. If you are a smoker, you need be familiar with the word passive smoking. When it comes to your parrot, if you have one cigarette it is equal to your parrot having one pack of cigarettes and just look how small your parrot is. It is a fight your bird will certainly lose.





4) Keep toxic plants at bay from your parrot's cage. Plants like azaleas, oleanders, philodendron, ivy, poinsettias, African violets, daffodils, tulips, and hydrangeas are all usually poisonous to parrots and should be kept far from your parrot’s cage.

5) Utilize air purifiers. The normal indoor air is six times more contaminated than the outdoor air. It is an excellent idea to have an air purifier in the family room that serves everyone. If your parrots do not live in your family room like mine do, you might need to add an air purifier to your parrot's room. Make certain you choose a traditional air purifier that has a filter to trap the dust. The newest ionic air purifier release ozone (three atoms of oxygen) that's an oxidant and not beneficial for all of us.
