    Painted New Cage

    Ok, this might just be me freaking out and being too much of a worry wart but I want to hear from others! I found a cage at my local pet store that was used, it’s a California cage but the outside was chipping and sections were rusting. They sold it to me for $100 and I thought this was a steal...

    Paint and dove

    We recently got a new rug and also painted the baseboard heater in our enclosed porch. The paint fumes were horrible after painting, so I removed our dove and closed the room off. We kept the fan on, windows open and heat full blast for 3 weeks. There is little if any smell in the room now...

    This Can't Be Good

    I just got this play stand maybe 2 weeks ago and today I noticed blue dye on the paper towel beneath it. My kids have been rubbing their beaks on this thing and now I'm worried about it. I already contacted the company and I'm hoping they have a good explanation for this. It's so hard to find...

    Painting with Birds - Ecos Paints

    So I am planning on painting a room in my home. Has anyone heard of Ecos Paint? Of course their representatives say it's alright to use the paint with birds in the home, but I'm sure any salesman for any paint company would claim that. It would be a room off a hall from where I keep the...

    Is there a house paint that's safer for the fids?

    I want to repaint the Old World bird room because the current grey-blue makes it look small and dark, and I'm wondering about the safety of painting in the house with the birds here. Obviously Kraz and Kamara would be temporarily moved into another room while the paint is being applied and as it...

    Painting house

    We are currently in the process of moving out of our house, and some of the walls need to be repainted. All 3 levels are getting painted. Would it be safe to keep my 4 year old cockatiel in a room with the door closed right off a hallway that's being painted? My only other option would to shut...

    Bird Safe Paint

    Has anyone heard of Ecos Paint? I was reading about it’s safety for use around birds and other pets. It’s apparently VOC free (not just low) and they even have a bird safe primer. They claim it’s so safe that one of the creators swallowed a spoonful. I really need to paint inside my house this...
