Second hand pot smoke.

Postby roygbiv » Sun Sep 16, 2012 2:41 am

I know second hand pot smoke can't be good for my bird, but how bad is it? It's not me, it's coming from my neighbours. I know there are skunks around here and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, but I know for a fact my neighbour smokes it quite a bit. Generally I wouldn't care, but I'm worried about my little dude's brain, not to mention his respiratory system.

Any smoke is bad. Move him to the room furthest away from where the smokes entering your property.

Birds are quite sensitive to smoke and such from what I've learned... Keep the little guy safe!

Is your bird eating a lot more than usual?

Sorry, bad joke. :lol:

Move its cage to a different location; any smoke is bad, bad, bad.
