Is it dangerous for my birds if I simmer spices in my small crock pot to make the house smell nice?

I know air fresheners and scented things are bad, I'm just unsure of this since it's natural.

I have other pets and it's nice to have the house smell good once in awhile lol

Not at all. Matter of fact, goldenfeast has a myriad food offerings that need to be cooked. These are extremely aromatic. Caribbean bounty really especially comes to mind.

We have the Caribbean bounty for Arika. When we cook it up, it smells delicious and she likes it.

Just make sure they cannot land on a hot crockpot and that the liner does not contain Teflon.

Thanks

Thank you asking this. I was wondering the same thing. I wanted to cook apples & cinnamon sticks just for the aroma. B/c when I bake apples the house smells so good.
