Anybody else became extremely scared and paranoid of your birds safety after this video?

My mom doesn’t believe me and thinks I’m crazy when I tell her our nonstick pans are toxic for them 👀

Having pets live in my house has made me subconsciously quit smoking and i find that so amazing

keeping your birds safe can be a constant chore. i had a bird and a cat at the same time and i was constantly on alert to keep them separate, closing the door to the bird room constantly and cutting out anything scented from my life completely like scented candles (actually, candles, period), air fresheners and a lot of other things. i was doing everything i could but still one thing slipped past me: my neighbors. they hold barbecues in their yard very often during the warm months, but i always kept my window shut because the smoke can be incredibly damaging to my bird. last october, i had my bedroom (aka the bird room) window cracked open the slightest bit so i could get some air circulation and then left the room for a few hours. during that time, my neighbors started a barbecue (it was the last few days of october. i didn't think they would have a barbecue in OCTOBER) and when i came back in the room i realized what happened, but at that point my bird had been breathing in the fumes for hours. he became really sick. it seemed like he recovered, but then a week or so later he became really lethargic and ill again and within 24 hours of him showing symptoms, he died. having my window open less than an inch killed my bird. so while you should definitely be careful with household substances, you also have to make sure your neighbors are aware and at the very least can give you a heads up before they have barbecues in heir yard (or do whatever else, like set off fireworks)

We were aware of these dangers and avoided all of them. But when we were traveling, the place we stayed at had Teflon and we hadn’t noticed and our bird died. We were devastated and baffled as to what happened because we hadn’t realized it was the Teflon. It happened so quickly and we miss her so much

An amazing alternative to non-stick pots and pans is cast iron. They are a bit more expansive but totally worth it, they last longer and don't dent or scratch easily. The best part is though is that they are naturally non-stick (if taken care off) and won't release toxic fumes.

I'm glad you mentioned the sleeping with them... although I have never heard ANYBODY say it! I have a sad story...I was 4 yrs old, and for my bday I was given a blue buggie (parakeet)... She was so sweet and very friendly. I was playing with her, and we were laying on the bed, she was snuggling up next to my neck and her warm breath was so relaxing...I fell asleep 🥺 I woke up, and went about my 4yr old business... When I remember I was playing with the bird! I couldn't find her... Until I found her dead... On my bed😭 I will never forget that day! So, I'm glad you said this, cause it's happened to me! 😔

A few months ago we has a plumber install a new water heater. Without any warning he lit a welder to fasten a new valve. I had a broken leg at the time and I couldn’t move fast enough to get my Poncho out of the house. He was my best friend of 30 years. Took him to his vet immediately but we couldn’t save him. I miss him everyday.

Thankfully I know all of these, but every time I buy or use a new product, I'm paranoid something might harm them, so i watch all these videos lol. They have an air purifier that sits beside them and follows them to which room they're in. It's a shame that so many products don't label whether they have coatings in them, and don't often know when calling the manufacturer. Makes buying new things tougher!

Useful information keep going

I really appreciate your illustrations. Because sometimes the information comes fast and furious and I cannot absorb, let alone remember, everything. Your videos are very informative, not just entertaining. That’s a real plus.

Just an FYI, zz plants are not non toxic, they are actually really quite poisonous to humans and pets😩 sansevieria too, (snake plants) are not safe either . great video!

The sleeping one is the one I struggle with the most. She(Luna) pretty much only screams when she's in her cage. She's out all day but I gotta put her in when it's time for bed and oh god does she hate that. The other night I asked her if she was ready to go to bed and she immediately hid in my shirt. After a bit she popped her head out and I asked her "ready to go night night?" and she immediately hid back in my shirt lol. It's painful putting her in there when I know she really just wants to sleep with me, but like you said it's just too much of a risk.

I used acetone, but in a different room from my birds. My advice? Don't use it at all. They died today. 💔 Now I know that using it in a different room isn't enough and won't make the same mistake with my soon to be new pets. Don't make the mistakes I did and learn from them ♥️

this is kind of an obscure one but dont have cups with liquid in them sitting around unless you are monitoring your bird, birds can be curious and drink that liquid. even if it is water, a bird can fall into a cup of water when trying to drink from a tall cup and drown in it

I love how in the list of things that you shouldnt have lying around she mentioned other pets and said you should chuck them if you wont use them XD

one of my friends that I am probably going to tell her eventually, is pretty mean to their birds. They had their cellling fan on and their bird went on it, saying it was a “funny joke”

7:40 that’s how I lost my bird four years ago and I still haven’t gotten over it. I still have dreams about traumatic things happening to my bird and when I’m away I constantly worry if my bird is safe

I love to see videos like these, there are so many dangerous that bird owners may not be aware of, so this is hopefully helping a lot of people^^

I've been using ur vids recently to help me out with conures and I am so thankful I'm doing my research bcz i found u, and without u my birds would be in danger, I haven't gotten them yet but I can't wait because I've been learning so much and I believe I'm ready! tysm :)

I feel so happy seeing your birds so happy. So so cute. Top bird Mum. I have found it hard to find a good avian vet though, I don't have an emergency plan atm as a result.

Wow this is really good and helpful! Thank you so much! (Btw you saved my birds from dying with this vid)

Thank you for the important information and also the humor! Love it

I love when you raise the pitch on your voice when you have someone else talking. It's hilarious! p.s. great info! thanks so much

Honestly best most informative videos ever. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!🙂

After watching this I’m actually relived because everyone in my household are Native / Mexican and we’re very old school when it comes to cooking or cleaning so we use all natural remedies

a bird of mine was left unattended in a room with a ceiling fan. my younger sister turned it on in hopes of getting the bird down, she got launched onto the ground and injured her leg. sadly we didnt have any avian vets open at the time, so we did our best to keep our safe and alive. that situation was around 6+ months ago, shes already been to a vet and is very close to full recovery. she walks with a limp but its close to that confident bird walk.

You have the best advice on birds and how to take care of them and all the tips and tricks

Ayo ty for alotta ur tips, im getting a young sun conure soon and i want him to live his best life

Your doing an amazing job well done. My Senegal is 21 years old he doesn’t stay in his large cage. But he knows it’s bedtime and appreciates being covered up and he likes 12 hours sleep. I have enjoyed and will be using some of your on your advice. 👍👏

Whats crazy is I had a greencheek conure growing up and my mom used all of these things with our bird! I would have never known this as an adult.

I am so great full for your videos i know nothing and within a few hours of watching your videos I’m confident and ready to bring my pineapple conure home in a few days

Great video! Very useful info :)

A couple of things. 1. Parrots can easily chew through window screens. 2. I built surrounds for my ceiling fans, which hang from screw eyes on screwhooks in the beams in the ceiling. These can be made from 1/2" plywood and 1/2" square hole screening. As my fans are about 5' in diameter, I had to put one central piece of wood across the middle to support the screening. It wasn't expensive. All wooden parts can be derived from one 4x8' sheet of 1/2" plywood. So far, my bird hasn't chewed up the framing; but he does like flying to it and hanging upside down a lot. If he does eventually chew up the plywood, I will have to replace the wood with some white oak, which he can't seem to easily chew.

Love your videos they are very informative

My dad sleeps in a chair at night and they will literally climb under the blanket slightly and they sleep together ❤ its so adorable. So there's not much chance that our bird could get hurt :)

My sweet Green-Cheeked Conure was killed by a tiny amount of beef-fat smoke from cooking a steak... while he was two rooms away from the kitchen. Cookware was PTFE-free and PFOA-free. (I was gutted and baffled, so I took him to the veterinary university for a necropsy.) 💔🐦🚫

I heard that miners used to take canaries into the mines and if they died due to the chemicals that meant that they had to leave the mines. :(

Uh oh .🥴. I have a brand new Delonghi space heater 3ft from my 2 month old parrotlet 🥴🐥. I will check the MSDS specs on it.. Glad I watched this video...

Casting Iron is the way to go.

You videos are such a blessings thank you! Wanted to ask what do you know about window screen. Is that a problem for birds or toxic?

i have one to add. my parakeets like to eat my drywall. they will start tearing at any small holes until they reach drywall. and they have coddlebones and stuff.

I am so glad that I got my birds almost a week after cleaning the room that we emptied for them 😓 we actually didn’t end up using many chemicals or cleaning products but my parents did plan to. That could’ve ended badly… Also, the day we drove to pick them up, my dad put a new glee things in his car and it ended up spilling, it’s scent was absolutely overbearing and awful smelling, I never even thought the fumes could affect the birds 😟

Some of these products and daily use stuff or hard to get rid of, so maybe you should make a video about how to replace these things

Your videos are SO GOOD 😍

My boyfriend begs me to let the bird sleep with us at night after we watch a movie and I tell him no every time lol he loves our bird so much but I tell him every time that he has nearly crushed frankie(our conure) when he fell asleep during a movie one time. I was still awake so I was watching out for frank but my bf sleeps so deep I can’t even wake him myself so there’s no way our bird could

i just love yr style😂❤️

Finally the tutorial I’ve been waiting for

you defiantly saved my bird's life

My bird and i are watching this together lol

I love watching ur videos and cry bc I don’t have a bird lmao even though I do a lot of research just cuz it’s fun

Love it !! Do you have any reccomendations for bird safe soaps that are easy to find to clean poop ?

Don't cook, don't clean, don't groom, don't smoke, don't smell good, don't eat, don't sleep, don't open doors or windows. So if you have a bird you can drink water....

Let me get this stright, so is ptfe and pfoa is only toxic if heated so if I had let's see a rain coat that had it on it ( idk if that's a actual thing or not ) it wouldn't hurt my parrot??

I had a bottle of soda and both my birds were going on a rampage trying to steal sips from it, only thing though was it was in a bottle and they both got mad cuz they couldn't reach it, and whenever I tried taking a sip they would bite my nose and mouth

Yes even fingernail polish and removers hairspray even some spices that are strong .

welp, rip my dad’s cooking-

heeeeeey , so how exactly do i have a shower and clean myself ? its been a week since i got my birds and im stinking but im afraid to shower lol

I have a question we have 4 canary and a parrot we use air freshener plugs in our downstairs bathroom and master room which in none of those areas our birds stay at , is it still toxic even though they aren’t in the same room where the air fresheners are at ? Also thank you for mentioning other stuffs that can kill birds

Thank you for your video. Is scented hand soap also dangerous if you handle your bird after washing with it? I imagine that burning sage is also toxic?

Her: *talks about how your bird can die* Bird: I am SPIDERMAN

Guys. Perfume and nonstick pans are OKAY as long as there are air purifiers and open doors/ windows. Perfume only when ur about to LEAVE. Please never rely on this thi

You are the✨ best ✨

How about diffusers with natural oils?

4:09 is the smoke from insense stick toxic for birds??

If my granddaughter use to have scented candles in her room is it safe for her to have a parakeet in her room. There is no other room to have one since she has other siblings younger. Even if she gets rid of all of them.

What paint should I use for my bird’s cage?

Hiii! We have 1 cockatiel and 4 budgies . We used to use pinesole which ofc is not safe for bird. Does anyone know a bird safe floor cleaner? Something affordable $30 or less maybe? Thanks!

I actually had a bird that ran Into a ceiling fan it really scared me but he is still alive so I guess he is tough

So what do you use to scent your house? Because i have cat and definitely need the plug in glades

Can you use hair dryers and non stick pans in the same house as your bird and also can you keep your bird in the same room as you bird? Please can you reply!🥺🥺

my bird doesn't stink but I do 😭

Does anyone know if running a plastic food dehydrator in your home is dangerous to birds? I have a conure and live is a pretty small apartment.

She listed zz plants as safe for birds however I looked it up and it is said that these are toxic for all animals humans and birds, can someone clarify for me if there is something I am missing?

My dad didnt believe me when i said space heaters are dangerous to birds, he didn't believe me until i showed him proof, we are trying our best to keep the birds safe

Hi stupid question but I’m considering on getting a parrot soon and I was just curious if you could have a fan on while the bird is in their cage?

Would you say it's a good idea to get an air purifier?

With perfume is it the spray that's bad or the actual perfume itself. SO could I for example use rub on perfume with a bird around?

Hi! The bamboo photo u showed in the video is lucky bamboo. Lucky bamboo is not the safe as Bamboo. It is toxic to parrot.

Flying Fids pls stumble across this comment I am planning on getting a budgie and non stick pans are toxic to them right? But I was thinking if I went outside with their cage and them inside the cage. If I go into my balcony and close my glass door, will it be safe for them? I know I’ve been commenting this a lot I just really want to give my bird a happy and healthy life. Thank you have a good day!

Having a macaw is like having 12 infants its soooo hard to take care of it as well as expensive

are non scented candles okay? i cant find anything on non scented ones only scented

How do I get my Peach faced Love bird to eat veggies or fruits. He only eat seeds. While he is in his cage when outdoors, he is mesmerized by the outdoor running water fountain. Looking at it with curiosity and excitement.

can you have candles but never light them? I like the smell of candles but are to nervous to light them.

My room is always cold, I like it around 67 degrees, do I need to buy a heat lamp for my bird? The pet store recommended a heat lamp of 50w but it said for reptiles, not birds so I wasn't sure.. I have 2 parakeets.

So my kitchen has Teflon products and there are stairs to where I’m hoping to keep my bird is that bad?

I want to get a bird.... soon enough and I want to know if there are any bird safe perfumes or colognes

Omg I've burned candles before around my bird

When it comes to bathing yourself are you allowed to use any fragrance shampoo and body wash or will that also affect your pet parrot like how you use air fresheners or perfume?

Is it good when some body is cooking and the bird is in the balcony with trusted ones?

I have love bird and there awesome so far there doing good I have them for 10 years so far I just clean with soap and water

What if you are cleaning your house and you use products that are not good but the bird is upstairs with the door close will it affect them

Which type of conure is the blue bird u got ?

what about essential oil diffusers?

Which cleaning supplies are good to use? Do I find that answer on Google or do you know? My bird nibbles on the corners of my eye. So, make up, eye make-up are toxic to birds? I don't know what he might lick. You said saliva? My bird always almost sticks his face in my mouth if I don't shut it. What can happen?

Can you make a view on nail trimming?

I need to quit smoke😢.thinking to get parrot for my pet.

Elegant glim makes 100% natural organic and vegan candles and wax melts. Completely safe for all animals

5:24 If my cats poop, I will not sit in their stink, I have to use some sort of air freshener, I'll probably just put my birds outside in a cage for a bit when I use any of that stuff.
