Hello all,
My finance is driving me nuts about not being able to burn candles/use non-stick cookware/aerosol sprays/use anything scented since we got our birds. He particularly wants something that scents our home.
I've done a bit of digging and found out essential oils are supposedly safe for parrots, but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I've read a few threads on here, but a lot of the time its a specific question that doesn't give me the broad intro to these oils that I need.
Is there a brand that's known to be safe? Brands that aren't? What should I look for? What type of "diffusion" method is okay? I've seen things that appear to emit a type of mist using the oils, similar to what a humidifier looks like, and I think I've also seen the sticks in a glass vile of the liquid used. I'm not even 100 percent clear on how to use essential oils for scent in general, let alone with birds. haha
Thanks in advance guys!
