Moving - again - and have a question
So in September I'm moving into my boyfriends apartment and taking Tango with me (of course, as if I'd go without him). But here's my dilemma, it's a typical 2 bedroom apartment and the only options we have for a place to keep Tango is either the living room or our bedroom, but the problem is, we almost never spend much time in there except to read at night (when Tango is already asleep) when we're asleep or when we're getting ready in the morning. So I don't necessarily want him in there because it would make it challenging to keep him company when we're at home. The problem with the living room is that it is completely open to the kitchen, and I'm worried about any fumes or smoke or anything like that. We only have 2 cooking utensils that I've found that have teflon, one is a cookie sheet and we have about three that don't have non-stick, so that's no problem, but the other is my wok, which is probably my most used pot, I cook with it constantly. Since Tango has always been in a separate, area, and I always keep the place well ventilated when I cook, and only ever use it on low heat, I've never had a problem, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable without that extra airspace.
What do you guys think? How would you deal with this, where would you put him and how would you keep him safe?
On an unrelated note, I remember reading somewhere that those essential oil home fragrance things were safe around birds. Does anyone know if this is true and if those little essential oil heater thingies with an unscented tea light underneath are safe to use around birds? what about those reed diffusers? are there specific oils that are safe and others that aren't, and how do you tell?
Thanks
Jenna and Tango
