Parrot safe candles

[kiertje]

Hey,
I found these candles. Wondered what your guys opinion is and if ever someone has used them?
Also are candle warmers safe? Cause I just wanted to get the wax melt and put them on a plate under a candle warmer.

I don’t think anything that disperses stuff in the air is truly safe for birds. Hopefully people with more knowledge will be able to better answer your question

They say theyre safe but they dont go on to explain what it is about them that makes them safe. They say “veterinarian approved. “ I doubt that. Thats like saying dr approved cigarettes.

If the scent comes from anything like essential oils (which are frequently touted as safe but as very far from being so) they’re not a safe candle.

I can’t tell if I’m looking in the wrong place or what, but I can’t find anywhere that it says where the scents come from. It says “non harmful oils” but what oils are they saying aren’t harmful?

I do not trust them as far as I could throw them.

They have the lab results there, but these weer not tested to see if they were safe for birds. And there's no results for air quality. It is likely these were tested to see if they were safe to be sold as candles (for humans).

@kiertje I am not sure what it is you are looking for? The dim flicker light? the scent? old habit? But most can be replaced without using any candles. Nothing we burn is bird safe. No essential oils are bird safe. So I would be very skeptical about any candle that is supposed to be lit being sold as "bird safe". And if we are not sure, I personally do not thinkg we should ever be risking our birds health for it.

There was another thread on these recently. Their blurb concerns me as it only states they use “safer” materials… safer does not mean healthy or of no problem.

Yeah kinda miss the flickering at night and the scent in the house. Really love vanilla candles. So when I saw these I thought it could be something okay, that's why I wanted your guys opinion on it, cause not sure what I should look out for.
My friend already said maybe you can get fake electric candles, so gues I will be ordering those ^^.
If you guys have any tips for the scent

If you like vanilla then you can just use some vanilla essence on a cotton ball and place around the room. We used to use them in the fridge so the fridge always smelled yummy.

A tiny crockpot fill half way with water, add apple peels and cinnamon sticks, or orange peels and cloves. You can also add vanilla beans, lemon peels, lime peels, tangerine peels, grapefruit peels.
