Budgies – Can I burn unscented tea light candles near my budgies?
My budgie’s cage is next to the kitchen table and I want to burn tea light (unscented) candles in the evening. Will this harm my budgies? Please, only educated answers, not guesses if possible. Ie. first hand experience or vet knowledge ect. appreciated.
Thanks alot!
Be sure your wicks do not contain zinc or lead. Even though lead wicks are not approved for use in the US some imported candles may slip through. I also wouldn’t use candles containing paraffin wax since it is a petroleum based product that can release fumes similar to car exhaust – not good!
I have heard from people who own birds that they have safely used Mia Bella’s candles around their birds. They are made with vegetable wax and use 100% cotton wicks. They don’t have tealights, but they do have votive candles. For more information visit the company website and read some of the testimonials in the old company newsletters.
