Happy Hanukkah! to you and your birds
Yes they are unscented
I would be sure that vents leading out of the room are closed if you have central hvac
Have you ever cooked in the kitchen? Ever notice how you can smell the food throughout the entire house?
Happy Hanukkah!
I've burned beeswax candles before,in a different room, birdies seemed a ok
No they are not really safe at all unless the room they are used in can be totally sealed off from the rest of the house and its air supply, using candles in another room lessens the damage done to our birds each use but that is not good enough for me- they are still slowly harming my bird... no one ever died after having their first cigarette but the regular use builds up toxins and over time causes issues, can be the same for birds breathing in contaminants. The further away the candles are, the less of their scent and particles in the air the better. I personally threw all my candles out including birthday candles and ones that were for use outside only (mozzie control) as it is not worth the risk when there are so many other actual safe options.
By jewish law the menorah is supposed to be a real fire.
When was this law made?
We're not going to question someone's belief system on Avian Avenue. You can agree to disagree.
I'm reform and we believe life and safety come before halacha. If you're orthodox you'd probably wanna run it by a rabbi
