How close is too close?

[rjanks]

So I know how big of a no-no it is to burn candles near a bird. But I'm wondering how far from a bird would it be okay? Our bird stays in our living room, downstairs, and I would like to burn a candle in my bedroom, upstairs. If you guys thinks that's still too close then I'll play it safe and just not burn the candles.
Thanks

Is it scented?

 

[rjanks]

Yes it is

I wouldn't. @Zara and most other members just have them on show.

The honest answer is no one likely knows. So I choose to not find out

Same here! Just not worth it to me at all. I´m not that interested in burning candles, it doesn´t do much for me.
I have a bunch of candles. My scented ones have lids or are tucked in the socks drawer. I don´t burn any of them.

I agree with both Zara and Mizzely, best not to chance it. Being scented is not the only problem with candle burning- any burning candle is a problem for our birds so best to switch over to battery operated candles if you really want the candle effect and if it is for the scent then maybe look into making your own safe scents to use in the home. Things like orange peel and cinnamon simmered make for a lovely fresh safe smell in the home.
