Forgive me if I'm in the wrong thread.
I'm a first time bird owner to a beautiful green cheek and loving the experience. Even with all the research around, sometimes I find it can be confusing just reading article after article because the opinions differ. So here I am!
I trust your advice. Hopefully you don't find it too annoying. Sorry for the questions.
I bought grape fruit seed extract for cleaning (After reading a few threads on here), found it to be cheaper than essential oils. What are your go to products for natural cleaners? I'm curious. Should I steer away from cleaning with essential oils because the scent can be very strong? Are any essential oils toxic to birds? No more diffusing essential oils? I do it to just give a lovely smell in the home. Does this mean no more cinnamon sticks on the stove top with water to give cinnamon scent in the house?
Threw out the non stick pans. I read ceramic is ok and stainless steel?
I'm a mother to a daughter, we love our hair dryer. I hear they can be unsafe for birds? Is it ok to blow dry hair in the bedroom, door closed- upstairs, away from the bird? Our conure is downstairs in the living room. The breeder says just look at it as they're sensitive to the aroma, I'm wondering if keeping distance is the key. We don't use hair sprays.
We use a air fryer, I think it's no different than using the oven- I just find it convenient and quicker with certain foods. I don't use oils or lard to fry in it. Assuming it's safe?
