Does anyone know if citronella scent is harmful to parrots? I ordered some wood floor cleaner from Amazon and it came to me in a different bottle than I have bought at the store, and it said in the outside that it was citronella scented. Will this harm my parrots? Thank you for sn answer.

I do not believe that it is safe, but someone else may know better.

I've seen it both ways that citronella oil is safe, but also that it's not. If it says citronella fragrance in t ingredients, then that I would consider not safe. Fragrance oils are not safe overall.

Regardless, when in doubt, throw it out!
