I'm not really sure where to put this in the forum but I figure educating myself works well enough xP
My bird room is down the hall and around a small corner from a room we are painting this weekend. (The right wall is the same as the back wall of the room to be painted.) I read a few things about no VOC being relatively okay for birds, but that you should still have them out of the house for a week(?).
Anyway the house is two stories with a landing in between the two staircases. If I move the birds upstairs into a room and block the vent/s in that room, have the windows open, some fans on, and have fans downstairs in the room to be painted, would they be okay? And as far as windows being open is it okay to have the room being painted open and the room they are in open? The room they probably would go to is directly above the one painted. Which is why I would block the vent. We would move them up there and get everything possible set up before ever opening the paint to prevent it sitting open. The room isn't very large so I imagine it wouldn't take long to paint.
My next question is when it would be safe to bring them back downstairs. Should I wait a day or a week or until the paint can't be smelled?
