Ok, so I know that there's no air freshener or traditional candles that our birds should be subjected to, but what about this...

aromatic soy candles from the Honest Company

-purely made with long-lasting soy wax, natural essential oils & botanicals
-GMO-free US-grown soy wax poured by hand
-100% unbleached cotton wick
-no synthetic fragrances ever
-Clean-burning, vegan, naturally non-toxic, and lead-free

(I just gave you the description off the website)

I trust this company for many of my house-hold items. We do organic, natural, etc, as much as we can (it's a slow transition, to keep from going broke), and I love them.

I have kind of a zoo at my house, and between cooking and animals I feel like I need something to freshen the air. I would LOVE to know any and all opinions on this.

Thanks all!! :)

Any time you burn anything, you put soot in the air you and your animals breath and the more candles (trying to burn out more odors) the more soot you are putting in the air.....have you thought about simmering citrus peels or vanilla & other flavors/scents in a pan of water for a couple hours a day?

Also many essential oils emit fumes when heated that are toxic to birds. If the air needs freshening, consider an extra air purifier, open boxes or dishes of baking soda or crumbled charcoal to absorb the odor.
