:eek: There are tons of firemen and firetrucks coming into my condo right now because my neighbor had a gasleak.
They didn't tell us to evacuate so I figure we're safe, but anyone know if I should be concerned about my Fids?

99 percent sure he's fine, but I'm a bit embarrassed because when I walked out of my apartment to see what was up, I told my neighbors (that I don't really know) that I was worried about whether or not my bird would be safe because they have sensitive respiratory systems. That, paired with the fact that I was wearing a 10 sizes too big grandma style nightgown probably made me seem nuts lol

Hope all is well happycat! That happened to us once, and I ended up sitting on the path outside our house at 2AM in my pyjamas with 2 birdcages hoping the wind wouldnā€™t change direction again. I was freaking out as usual when itā€™s got anything to do with my birds but we got thru it!

Canā€™t ask the officials cause theyā€™ve been gone for ages.
Iā€™ve been monitoring them just in case. At this point if something was wrong Iā€™d know right? Jojo made a few breathy noises when he was supposed to be asleep and of course my mind jumped to ā€œis something wrong?ā€ i think he just woke up and was surprised but itā€™s probably gonna keep me up for a little while.
Worst thing about being a bird owner is fume worry I swear. Maybe itā€™s just me haha

Hey, ay least you are aware!


(I've just spend half an hour going over the manual from my new central heating -at five in the morning!- because it made scary noises and the first thing that sprang to mind was .... my birds welfare)


Since everyone is gone you can asume it is allright now. ;)
