Essential oils ok?


My question is not using essential oils on my parrotlet or diffusing them into the air. I would like to for example put a couple of drops of lavender oil on a cotton ball around 6 feet away from the birdcage.


Answer:

Hi Pat,

Please try a Google search for essential oils parrots. I saw several articles discussing how to use them around parrots. I do not have any personal experience with this. My thought would be to make sure it is truly a pure essential oil without artificial additives.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
