I have a 2 year old cockatiel I have had since she was 6 months. She has been having watery poop so I started researching bird illness, and found out about candles. I have a lavender scented essential oil candle, among others, I have burned a handful of times in a small room with her in it... I feel so awful. I am a paranoid, anxious person and I have researched and watched so many bird and cockatiel videos I can't believe I hadn't seen something about it. I don't know what to do at this point and I am looking for advice. She is not hand tamed, but friendly and likes to play. I open her cage every day and some days she doesn't want to come out, but most days she will. I haven't noticed any change in her behavior really, a few times she has shivered a little, here and there. Obviously the damage has been done... but what should I do now?
On another note, we have a new, hand fed, adorable, loving 4 month old male cockatiel. He is in a separate room as I am quarantining him, no candle exposure. I was worried about introducing them since she has the watery stools, and now I am not sure if I should? I thought I was relatively educated on pet birds but now I feel bad... any tips on where to go from here would help. Thanks!
