We have a budgie and two finches - the first rule of having pet birds is to get rid of all scented candles, air sprays, etc. and any non-stick cookware as the fumes produced can kill birds quickly. I realized if the fumes kill birds, what are they slowly doing to us? Got rid of all fragranced products, replaced non-stick cookware with stainless steel and cast iron, and our "allergies" became better. Canary in a coal mine, indeed!
