Hi everyone. I have a 10 year old CAG who is happy, healthy, and fully feathered. I also have an older home in desperate need of some caulking replacement/gaps to be filled to prevent bug invasion and help keep cooler in the summer without using AC. It is more important to keep my bird healthy than to stop bugs entering the house or seal bathtub and wall gaps in the bathroom so I have put off doing this for months because Iām not certain how safe the safer options are.
1. ECO Bond
I bought some eco bond low voc caulking but havenāt used it as Iām not sure if it is safe to use with the bird in the home. Does anyone here have experience with using this brand or something similar around their birds? Is it safe to use in a separate room and just keep them out until it cures? What about in the same room, on the opposite side from the cage? I would really appreciate some input as Iāve had these tubes of caulk sitting in the basement for months while the gaps remain.
2. Caulking strips
I have a roll of bathtub caulking tape. I donāt think it gives off any fumes but want to make sure before I use it and couldnāt find anything online about using this around birds. Also, does anyone know if there is a similar product that can be used to seal ie gaps around window frames? Or under the tub?
Thanks for reading. Iād appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in this kind of situation. I canāt move him anywhere else so removing him from the house for a few hours or days is not an option.
