Please don't smoke around your bird, if it is bad for humans it is really bad for your birds. Click here and here to find out why.
Birds have a sensitive lung system, so sensitive that using teflon cookware can kill a bird within minutes. Please, if you have any birds use stone or stainless steel pots and pans. Also NEVER dry your bird with a hair dryer, as most of them have teflon in it and you could be spraying death in their face. Deodorants, bug sprays, scent diffusers can all negatively impact your bird. Remove or dramatically reduce the use of all such products, and never use in the presence of your bird.
