I have a question. I don't really know what to name the thread.
I want to start a business one day where I sell bird products. I already have some of the toy parts. Here is where I need some advice.
These toys have been in contact with my birds in some way, through their feathers, being in the same room, me touching them then touching the toy parts, etc. I am concerned that if I sell them, they may have germs on them that I am unaware that my birds have. My parents aren't convinced that it's not safe to sell them and risk other birds getting ill, because they don't think the risk exists.
Is there any way to disinfect them? Or not? Am I overthinking this?
Another question-
I don't have a set place to store them. I don't want to store them in my bird room for many reasons, and the room I was storing them in, I wasn't allowed to use anymore. Kinda confused right now. The only other area I can store them in is the garage. Is this safe, as long as I regularly clean the area of any dust? Or will the exhaust gasses from the cars be unsafe? If you are able to offer any advice, I would appreciate it.
