I bought a bag of Tea light Pine scented candles and brought them into the house. After about 10 minutes in the same room with the candles which, Thank God I had not lit, Little Max started sneezing. Something told my feeble little mind what it was. I took the candles out immediately and took Little Max outside for a few minutes of fresh air. I'm a bad parent but, Max forgave me.
Hope you guys don't make the same dumb mistake I did. Also if you use scented dryer sheets in your clothes dryer take your babies to the other end of the house. Even if you think your dryer is vented safely to the outside air.

when i got marley the person that i got him from told me no candles in the house odor or not. didnt explain why other than they will hurt him. so i was kind of wondering what anyone else knew about this and if incense will hurt him too havent burnt anything in the house since he came (exept dinner ) just curious

yup there little resp system is very delicate and lots of candles have bad stuff that will get to them. different essential oils have diferent synthesizing effects and could harm them just from the smell so burning oils is bad as well. talk to the vet if u wanna burn oils and she can give u a list of safe ones. insense the smell and smoke will hurt them. their lungs are just so delicate

simmer orange rind or cinnamon stick

i'm so glad i found this forum who knows what kind of shape my poor bird would be in if i hadn't

Yup after a few spats, hubby agreed to throw out all incense, and candles and febreze.
