DIY Bird Safe Air Freshener! *Simmer Pots*

[@jordan9834]

What if we could smell it through the screen 🙊 Definitely gonna use these ideas when I get a bird 🐦 just gotta turn 18 and move out first

[@ashtrid_0149]

Same here. I would love to rescue a bird and one or two reptiles but I have to move first.

[@jordan9834]

I really want a snake, some other type of reptile, and a bird, but my mom hates birds, thinks all snakes are killers, and definitely wouldn't let me have a lizard or anything like that

[@petpalace1416]

I have a bird and I am ten

[@tikira_5118]

Lol same my mom won't let me😂😒

[@tikira_5118]

@@jordan9834 SNAKES ARE AMAZING!

[@Loveofpets]

Excellent video, I make simmer pots but not for a while. I will do some now since seeing your video.

[@josephbarnett6056]

Tyler will you PLEASE do a care guide for African Greys? I’ve been considering adopting one and I’ve been trying to collect reliable information on their care and I would greatly appreciate your perspective... 😬

[@moonlitapparition]

Lemon Toaster Check out the Avian Avenue forum, too! It helps so much, they have species specific forums and it really helped me out with my conure.

[@guanyinso]

I agree with them ^^ the avian Avenue form us super helpful :)

[@SurferGirlAllAroundTheWorld]

I have a Grey but I only know about them because I grew up with them so, I agree, a video on how to care for them, especially for first timers would be an excellent idea. There are some already on other channels too! 😊

[@livelaughForte]

Join some fb pages there will be people on there who can answer your questions

[@ellasanimals2849]

You should also look into other species! All parrots pretty much have the same care: their diet, sensitivities, etc. You’ll get a better understanding! :)

[@eclipsuj]

Pls do a vid making diy bird toys

[@cathyt144]

Justine bbl go to " make your own bird toys.com. Or cute little birds aviary.

[@rdeshotels3362]

Yes a toy making video would be great.

[@mnapier3795]

AAAA, ty. See, I’m getting a cockatiel and my mom really likes things like air fresheners being sprayed in the house and we need birb safe freshener hEh

[@ActualDisasterArt]

Cactus Covers I feel you. My mom loves them so she’s just bought a bunch of wax melter that are essentially just plug ins and it’s just annoying because we have a cockatiel even though she lives in a separate part of the house I just feel like she’s pushing our luck

[@mnapier3795]

Mackenzie Nielsen me tho! I want to keep Sam (my bird) In my room and my mom wants him in the living room but I stay in my room a lot and plus it’s not as heccin cold in my room as it is my living room and they need warmth ya know? But I don’t want to keep in my room bc I have a snek too 😢 hElP

[@givemeattention4163]

Opossumations uwu it's very important to keep air fresheners out of probably the whole house. my downstairs neighbor sprays a lot of air fresheners and unfortunately my parakeet just died because of it going through the vents :(

[@auroies8503]

so does my mom! i told my mom that.. and they're probably going to let me get a bird soon. she loves air fresheners and stuff like that. it worries me so much that even keeping them in the house or using them in a separate room will instantly kill them.

[@bearyhot]

I have 2 macaws and some old videos of them here on YT, more updated vids on IG (bearyhotaz), but I wanted to thank you for making videos like this! Many people don't know the dangers of Teflon, some aerosols and mist fragrances. Your video is very helpful for bird owners. In all honesty, I have been using Scentsy melts in my house for 6 years and it doesn't make my macaws sneeze, cough or react in any way. They had x-rays 3 months ago and their lungs are clear and healthy. The wax melts do not steam, put off any aerosol or vaporized fragrance into the air. I would not recommend using Scentsy for anyone else with pet birds, especially someone with smaller birds, but for my macaws, it has not caused any harm. Keep making wonderful, informative exotic pet videos for the masses, you are very good at it!

[@6naddy]

I’m so gonna do this! My stinky conure is a good boy but he is kind of smelly ;v;

[@abbeyjade3304]

Love the mason jar idea! I've been meaning to try simmer pots for a while since I packed up all my candles when I got birds. I'm gonna try to recreating my favorite candle scents as simmer pots and see how well that goes!

[@emmarumija]

I need to do this for my bird!!

[@supershepherd]

FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES A VIDEO ABOUT THIS THANK YOU TYLER

[@pennywisethedancingclown2702]

“You can just go outside and find a pine tree.” But I only have palm trees.... 😂

[@tanyajohnson3241]

Awesome ideas . The mason jars looked so pretty all done up. I’ve only done cinnamon summer pots . I can’t wait to try these .

[@leahmclaughlin8133]

This is such an amazing video!! I’ve got friends coming over later today, so literally going to go do this right now! My only thought: pine is awesome and smells awesome and birds love it, but BEWARE OF CEDER! Though it smells awesome, Cedar wood and cedar oil can be very hazardous to birds! Honestly I don’t know if just making a simmer pot with cedar would be detrimental to your birds health, but to me personally, I wouldn’t take the risk. ANYWHO, thank you for this video!! I’ve missed using candles and intense!!

[@supersimly5881]

Omg your a lifesaver my room stinks of broccoli from last week, I only used two stalks in a weeks worth of food....

[@rabbitquartet9273]

This would work great for me I don't have a bird but I do have rabbts and don't like putting chemical in the air

[@Kim-ri1hg]

I absolutely love reusing those Slim Chickens dessert jars !!! They’re also good as drinking glasses - but I always keep the lids. Are pure extracts safe to simmer when having birds ?

[@jessicam3233]

Oh cool. I didnt know about this. I was just thinking about how I miss candles too 😊 Cant wait to try this

[@phubans]

I'm a little confused about the pine thing. I thought about putting pine oil on pine cones to hang on my artificial Christmas tree but a lot of sites/forums say that pine and other tree oils are very toxic to birds... But it's okay to release the pine scent by simmering?

[@nissii9960]

That bird is beautifullll!!!

[@DanceLouisDance]

My husband and I have a Red Fronted Amazon and a African Grey, were definitely gunna start doing this. 💜

[@oonicornseverywhere197]

HOW ARE THERE DISLIKES ON THIS. THIS IS ACTUALLY HELPFUL INFORMATION.

[@isabelwhitlock4881]

Such a good idea! Thanks for the video 😊

[@christiangarcia5198]

I would drink that cinnamon clove tea haha do you think pure Rosemary oil or rose or oil safe for oil diffusers?

[@valeriamili7948]

What do u work as ???? Btw love your videos

[@pause____]

YESSS I WAS LITERALLY JUST WONDERING ABOUT THIS FOR MY DOG 🖤💜 I didn't want her to breath in harsh chemicals

I currently have five birds three macaws and two parakeets,They are the loves of my life but I love candles too so I’m just about to do this recipe!

[@katelynnallsbury6171]

Omg yes thank you for this video lol!! Im so crazy about my bird i dont let anyone even spray hairspray near upstairs 😂 i have a pineapple conure and i still havent picked a named for her shes about 4 months so if anyone has name suggestions id love to hear em😇😇

[@dafnidknd6944]

Excellent idea 💡 thank you so so so so so much for sharing! It's definitely better for us humans too and ofc for our little feathered friends. We can always find alternatives without restricting ourselves while also keeping them safe and sound 🏵️🙏🏵️

[@nataliefisher8978]

Sorry if you already said this, but can I use a wax warmer with water and scents to achieve the same effect?

[@ashleylawrence2395]

Thank you! I've been wanting to find something in place of air freshener but I never could find anything. It's a really interesting idea.

[@mimixbrown]

I just got a baby parakeet and I was wondering how in the world I was going to live without candles! Thank you so much for this video!! It helped so much :)

[@juliehare3260]

Speaking of winter A video on how to keep birds toasty during the winter would be so great! I cover my cages and i also do not trust heated perches

[@sons_of_durin3329]

So, quick question. Would keeping the ingredients watered down like that and kept in the fridge cause any molding around the jar? Just don't wanna get my birbs sick with mold.

[@aoibhe7103]

Gizmo is sooo pretty❤❤❤

[@baemaxbby]

Gizmo is so precious and this makes me want to make a simmer pot when I make my sweet tea like not the same pot but it would be fun

[@cjbsux]

Great idea Tyler ima try that👌🏼

[@spamspamspmspam5408]

Happy new year. I made the bird quiz. It picked a cockatail for me. The thing is,i already have one. I am going to use your idea for my bird.

[@hannabradfield4171]

Lemon orange and lavender is my favorite.

[@tannerburroughs1207]

I have a lot of fragrant orchids in my house when they bloom is their fragrance going to be safe for my sun conure

[@hollyodii5969]

Fabulous idea!!!

[@maksteezy]

Sup dude I've seen people make Coconut oil or soy candle wax with natural oils. Would that be safe? Based on the ingredients.

[@youraveragedaycosplayer553]

I tooted the quiz and I got a amazon parrot when I actually have one right now 🥰 like I always say my feather baby is the best and will always love her

[@soomoo6683]

This video was amazing

[@alyssabernhardt2309]

I am getting a Green Cheek Conure! Any tips?

[@alyssabernhardt2309]

How long do simmer pots last? Does the smell linger after you turn the stove off? Can you reuse ingredients from them?

[@veronicaortiz1343]

Question can it be also used as a tea for both humans and birds or just humans?

[@adriap.1729]

Thanks! I miss my candles so much! This should be safe for my guinea pigs, too.

[@BB-xo2ts]

Tyler please do a care video/day to day care of your grey!

[@blancacorral7958]

I have a huge mint plant in my front yard and I'm gonna take advantage of it's beautiful smell ❤️

[@9Brandi4]

Do you think you could use this technique around ferrets too?

[@thelittlestpika]

Oooo, the quiz said I'm compatible with an Indian Ringneck Parakeet. They're so cute and I love chatty animals! 💜

[@emptypicklejar]

i have a question and hopefully somebody answers. so im getting a cockatiel soon i have all my research, a good size cage and all that. but i told my mom if im getting a bird she has to be committing to it like getting rid of all bird unsafe stuff in the house. she doesnt want to get rid of her candles. my bird cage is in my room but can my mom still use her candles without it harming my bird all the way in my room?

[@kadianheinle7003]

Love your videos!

[@naniunii-chanuwu1143]

This is just what I need I have a budgie

[@petpalace1416]

[@bmrjma2144]

Hello…do you recommend a deodorizer for fabric sofas?

[@nancytigressvlogs]

but Ive seen somewhere that some of your ingredients are toxic for birds, dogs and cats. Also I made cat repellant once and I am pretty sure rosmarie was in the ingredients ☹ anyhow. Love the idea. Thanks to you I have learn it is toxic to burn candles and essence 😊

[@ddizzystarzz]

I had a question. Are scented lotions bad if you use them near your bird?

[@cecimiranda6515]

Thank you for your great Ideas, I miss all the beautiful scents in my home; but I love my African grey more ❤️ C M Hochman.

[@ohrats731]

*Oh HELL yeah!!!!* I’ve been missing incense a lot since I got my rats but I don’t dare risk their health for my smelling pleasure. I’ve even burned incense in my car while I sat there with door open because I was desperate for zen smell time 😂 I’m so excited to try this

[@vertex8741]

is this safe for reptiles as well?

[@lindseyfoley2906]

I don’t have a bird but I’m definitely gonna try this

[@mnapier3795]

Hey Tyler, another question about my bird, Sam. Is it ok to keep him in my room instead of the living room because I have a snake, ball python, and I don’t want anything to go wrong. But see, my living room is usually cold even when we have a heater, and idk why..? Help? Aaa

[@TotinVG]

Can you put that on a spray little an then spray that around the room

[@anthonyvolosen7909]

Can you put the water and ingredients into a jar after simmering and then put the jar into a different room? My room is far away from my kitchen but I want it to smell nice if I get a parakeet.

[@tylerrugge]

I’ve never tried that! It probably wouldn’t be as effective but It might work 😁

[@laraagius5504]

Also a mini version of this try an oil burner add water and cinnamon sticks ( no oils of course) simple small and effective

[@justinboomer3295]

Wow, Tyler & my right bird must be bffs. Lol

[@Matt-eg8wr]

I got typed with the bird I already own, good to see were compatible. sadly the locations for birds are all over 1000 miles away, and I’m on the west coast of Canada, so I assume they’re suggesting breeders in Washington, Oregon, and Cali. Hopefully they can add Canada to breeder lists

[@Meee2_00]

Love you tyler

[@auroies8503]

i use body sprays in the morning, this rose water toner, and this coconut oil, cocoa butter, and african shea butter lotion. (my usual facial routine) i'm really worried about that because i'm getting a bird soon and i don't want my bird to die. should i stop using all of that? i don't know what to use for my facial routine otherwise. i'm worried it'll be a big problem.

[@lindamaudie174]

What can I use to clean my floors and make my house smell good around my birds

[@cherylbrowning1172]

Also, start in a pot, while it heats get the crockpot ready, transfer and turn on hi. It’ll allow you to not worry about forgetting the stove

[@khloelucciani7088]

Are diffusers that spray natural essential oils safe for birds?

[@vogelvrouw]

Depends on the oil but most oils are bad for birds

[@calebquirini7463]

This is so smart

[@rdeshotels3362]

If you make your own candles with natural bees wax with no added fragrance they are safe . They have a natural honey scent .

[@raymondjacque6289]

Yay I’m in the first few comments awesome bird freshener

[@lilybrown5226]

What do you feed your birds?

[@tikira_5118]

Thank you! And also, how are you doing? :3

[@vogelvrouw]

Gizmo is so cute

[@ActualDisasterArt]

How are wax melts in terms of safety because I miss candles and so far all I’ve found are wax melts

[@ohrats731]

I wonder if you could put the mason jars on a mug warmer/wax warmer to make them scent travel without boiling 🤔 Probably not a good idea during free range time though of course

[@ScubaX29]

You can also pair this with battery operated candles if you like the look and cozy feel of them!

[@AR-zw4wh]

Hi Tyler! I have a lionhead bunny and I've been wanting to get her a few treats, but I hear most aren't good for them and some are quite pricey. Can you please do a video on 'how to make homemade rabbit treats'. I would greatly appreciate it☺️ Thank you!

[@AsheValendis]

There’s another way to do this without boiling. You can put herbs, spices, flowers and essential oils in little satchels. And put them around the house/room and boom. Usually put them at thresholds. Just be careful. If you know you have these satchels don’t let your bird pick at them or get too close to them. They’re pretty strong in smell, especially for you use spices.

[@freezeraystop]

essential oils can be dangerous for birds

[@jessedavis6997]

Hi Tyler👋 love your videos keep up the good work👍

[@jasonirelan1737]

hello Tyler Take care and God loves you.

[@lindamaudie174]

Does anybody know the safest thing to use to clean the floors and make the house smell good

[@arbieb2405]

Great ideas! Slow cookers are much safer....

[@sallylovescats1769]

Can we still use incense in the house but not where the bird stays at and can we take the bird out of the room till the smell goes away?

[@JamesWhite-ny3tw]

If I’m 100% certain that the essential oils I’m diffusing are pure and don’t contain anything other than the oil itself (no chemicals) would it be safe to diffuse them around birds?

[@camerondunlap9742]

I would do more research into what types your using too, if you haven't already. Like you can have 100% pure tea tree oil, but it's just naturally toxic to many animals whether it's pure or not. If your buying high quality oils, the possibility of artificial fragrance wouldn't worry me as much as just learning more about the different types of oils in the pure form and what can maybe cause poor reactions with different types of animals. Even with humans there is a list of oils that you are told to avoid when pregnant. Sorry this is so long lol- I personally love essential oils but have been so hesitant to use any recently since adding reptiles to our home.

[@emslilzoo2906]

Lots of essential oils are too strong, and unfortunately some can even kill or cause health complications in larger animals like cats. You gotta be careful and google the specific types you have and whether they're safe around parrots!

[@syedshahriar5604]

Thanks Buddy

[@musicalmallorie]

Do you think someone could make a mini simmer pot in a wax burner?
