My landlord had a new (central air) gas furnace (Arcoaire brand) installed after the last one failed. It began running 10/12. My birds have been kept at my parents since then (10 days today). The horrible chemical smell seems gone. The vent air smells 'hot' if that makes sense. The house smells a bit earthy and musty, which I presume is just from not being lived in or having fresh air when people come and go. It has been aired out an hour or so here and there, and once for an entire day.
Would it be safe to return my birds? I have a small sun conure and an African grey. I hate to return them and end up killing them, but it seems like the only way to know it's safe is to return them and see how they fare. Has anyone been through this? Logically I want to think that's long enough to burn off any coating, but I'm afraid to lose my birds.
