I bought an infrared fireplace for my Eclectus' room (he has his own 12x12 bedroom). It looks similar to this. https://www.amazon.com/Lifesmart-Infrared-Quartz-Fireplace-Burnished/dp/B0098FTCFW
I ran the fireplace in my garage for 2 days to burn off any possible gases/fumes. I called the company prior to buying the fireplace to confirm the fireplace heater had no PTFE or Teflon (they confirmed with the engineers that it did not and would be "parrot safe").
But I'm still terrified to run the heater for him. Is there a "detector", I can purchase to detect the presence of any chemicals in the air? I'm beyond terrified to run this heater and make my Eclectus sick. But I also feel like I've done everything by the book to make sure this is safe for him.
Any ideas or help?
