So I clean my en suite bathroom with natural cleaners of course, that don’t produce harmful fumes. But today, our cleaner decided to use a CHLORINE BASED BLEACH to clean my bathroom. She did it with the door closed and the bathroom window open of course, but I could smell the fumes when I came into my room. I immediately moved my birds to their outdoor cage downstairs and have opened all of my windows, as well as put the air purifier on its highest setting to try to dissipate the fumes.
I am so freaking worried that my birds are going to die because of this. They are not showing any signs of being affected. They are chatty, active, preening, eating and playing. I’m just so, so anxious. I can’t believe this has happened. I’m spending the whole day watching them. I feel like such a terrible parront for letting this happen. [emoji20]
EDIT: I found this info online
“You will know if your bird has suffered from fumes or aerosol poisoning because it will have difficulty breathing, tremors and other neurological symptoms. In severe cases, there may be sudden death. Unfortunately, the time between the bird exhibiting symptoms and death, is usually short.”
Is this accurate? My birds haven’t displayed any of these symptoms and it’s been about an hour.
