i bought these, but haven't used them yet. are they okay at all? i want to melt them with my windows half open, but i don't want to risk anything. Link to melts
thank you! they're also not candles, and don't burn, just melt. i'm worried about the fragrance from them.Candles will never be bird safe. That's because you still have the Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide from the flame. And unless a company changes the laws of Chemistry, it's going to be like that. I'd recommend you not use them.

thanks! they are, but he's in my room for now and hasn't ventured outside the cage - but i'll see if that will last a little if i bring a pot upstairsEven if they're the melts, that you put in a tiny crock pot or potpourri pot, I would not, not worth the risk, instead simmer some lemon or orange peel with cinnamon sticks, but do keep that safely away from curious birdies..
So tea in a wax melter is okay? I never would have thought of that on my ownOne of my avian vets is a young lady and loves all the smell good things. She has extensively done research etc on all that jazz. So I asked her.
She concluded that scentsy pots themselves are safe, but no wax melts to go in them are. Including the natural ones. She uses a pot, it has a hidden bowl as she put it, the reservoir part is completely hidden. And only uses water and aromatic fruit or teas in it. Yep. That’s what she said. I guess a fruit tea smelling house wouldn’t be at all bad.
I’ve never done it myself, but her desk office always smells nice, almost sweet- and I know she uses it in that space.So tea in a wax melter is okay? I never would have thought of that on my own
Is this what you are talking about:
Sorry there is no such thing as a safe wax melt bird safe or otherwise. If it can be made or formed into a vapor or vaporized, it is not safe for our birds or for those that have respiratory problems, such asthma, COPD.
If you have link please share it.

The lead question on this thread was only about bird safe wax melts. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable on what is & isn't safe for people to use if they have respiratory issues like asthma & COPD.Home - Pet Safe Candles

I read some of their information but it is questionable and still not a product I would use- I could not force myself to read past this part of their marketing... "Even the wick is made of 100% natural paper and soy, allowing for a much cleaner burn with fewer carcinogens released into the air compared to other wicks. As for the fragrances, they are created with a combination of natural essential oils and synthetic aroma chemicals."Sorry I have read their site and will not agree that they are safe. Wax whether paraffin or soy is still putting compounds in the air as a vaporized molecule, that is not safe to breath, inhale for our bird. Wicks whether cotton or whatever else they use burn and put junk in the air. You will notice that they are not showing any of their testing results on their site. Sorry I am prove it to me girl. I want to see their testing word for word letter by letter and their studies but straight up and blind studies. And I don't care what some veterinarian is bragging, that it is safe. Malarkey
I use to volunteer in vet clinic that was both avian and small animals. I was there the day that a client brought in her wheezing parrots from some one in the house lighting a oil diffuser with essential oils in it. The birds were not even the same room, end of story she lost her 5 year old scarlet macaw from respiratory distress. From essential oils.
Just to reiterate there are no safe wax candles soy melts wax melts ever for a bird period!!!!!!!!!!
I have asthma and certain strong scents will throw me into wheezing ,coughing and not being able to catch my breath. This includes strong perfumes, body washes, body sprays and laundry detergent, scent booster even fabric softeners.
