Hello everyone!
I have been wanting to get a bird for a few years and done my research, and I believe now is a good time for me to get a bird. The only thing holding me back is my costume hobby. I make costumes, cosplays, masks, etc... and as awesome as this is, it does mean I use a LOT of hot glue and fake fur especially. I am very worried about how hot glue fumes and fake fur fibers might affect my birds health. I live in a small area and I cant really work on my stuff (for more than a day at least, as projects take several week potentially and I live with someone else so fur scraps and foam everywhere can get a bit intrusive, and there are no other spare rooms) without my bird being close by. For the fibers i considered a close weave net cover for the cage to insure no fibers get in (which i think would work), however I am wary about the hot glue fumes.
Does anyone else work with these materials, and how do you overcome these issues? I know room just for my craft or just for my bird is ideal but its not an option atm, so if there isn't a way to overcome this ill just have to play the waiting game until it is haha.
Thank you all,
Lola
