I don't quite understand the question... do you mean that you leave them open and within their reach? If so, just put them away.

the smell of any paint is toxic to birds they have such sensitive respiratory systems!

From what I can recall, watercolour being toxic... no. I'll do some research into that though first. Just for now, don't paint near your birds until we find a definite answer. :)

Basically, all the information I've come across so far is saying that 'water based paints' (water colours and others that are waterbased) are fine, but - for double safety, I'd advise another room, with the window open.

Oh, and don't use solvent cleaners for your brushes and such! :)

I am very careful when having anything with any fumes near cooper. but water based paint shouldn't do much, but your bird might be uncomfortable/. I would move him/her as far away as possible with a window open.
