Will the smell of bleach hurt my bird?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Chlorine bleach, phenols and ammonia can all have dangerous vapors that can cause irritation, toxicosis and even death in pet birds. Common household aerosol products, such as perfume, deodorant and hairspray, can cause respiratory problems in birds as well.


What smells are toxic to birds?

Sources: Gasses like carbon monoxide, smoke from tobacco products, fumes from new carpets and furniture, air fresheners, scented candles, paints, glues, household cleaning products, mothballs, hair spray, and nail polish can all be harmful when they are in close proximity to birds.

Is bleach safe around parrots?

Parrots must be kept away from bleach. The fumes found in bleach are dangerous to parrots, and the aroma of diluted bleach is intense, and the risk of respiratory disease is ever-present.

What kills parrots instantly?

Teflon and Non-stick Cookware - Overheated Teflon can cause almost instant death of your bird. Your bird should never be anywhere near Teflon or other non-stick cookware when it is being used. Metals - Tin found in aluminum foil, gum wrappers, and cans is toxic to birds.

What cleaning products are safe to use around birds?

White distilled vinegar and water: I use a cup or two per gallon of water. This cleans everything from cages to mirrors. I use this solution and soapy water, as above, as my main general house cleaners. Steam: If you have a bird that manages to get food into toy and cage crevices, this is a great method of cleaning.
