I know that candles are toxic to birds when they are burning but what about when they aren't burning? I keep two on my dresser. I haven't burned them since I got my birds. Should I take them out of my room or are they fine?
They are fine with their lids onI have them on display with their lids on.
Oh good! They are literally there as I don't want to offend people who gave them as gifts!They are fine with their lids on![]()
You could say you burned them, and give them to someone who will enjoy them if you don´t want to keep them.... though that will open you up to receiving more candlesThey are literally there as I don't want to offend people who gave them as gifts!
Same hereHaha true! I sometimes burn them when I have a bath (birds nowhere near my bathroom which is upstairs). Pre budgie life I always burned candles...My house was always so clean too! Now its full of feathers and pellets but so much more fun!
To my knowledge no candles are safe unless they are the fake battery operated kind.Our power is out here now because of the storm. I drove across town to Target because they have Beeswax candles in stock. Turns out they're "Beeswax Blend" (Beeswax, Paraffin Wax, Palm Oil), but they are unscented and the wick is lead free.
Are they safe in the same room as the birds? We're all going to stay in the master bedroom (warmest room in the house) til power comes back on.
Nothing that actually burns will ever be 100% safe as it still lets off smoke- the candles you mention are a much safer option but they’re still not really safe for our birds.I know the 100% beeswax ones with cotton wicks are safe. I'm mostly worried about the blend.
