EO's and Birds (was Using your heat as a diffuser)

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the input on this one Kathleen. I don't have birds, so my

personal experience with this topic is a big goose egg.

 

Years ago I went to AT class with a gal who had birds and I recall her

telling me that she would only diffuse in her bedroom with the door

closed, and nowhere in the open common living areas where the bird

cage was. She still lurks here I believe, hopefully she'll see this

and chime in

 

I make sure I clean my hands of any oils before I feed my fish .. and

my cat too come to think of it. I figure any EO residue on my hands

can't be good for my sensitive little creatures.

 

Any input on this from other bird owners is most welcome, as we want

to keep the beasties happy and healthy!
