From Cornell - you can do the match on 4-7%. It will end up in the air. And this is based on 150? lb humans not 1-10 lb birds.

I know long term exposure to Methanol will

Sorry about all caps. I just cut and paste from site.

Hey, I think this link about Febreeze being safe should be removed, unless someone has solid info about safety around BIRDs (not dogs). I've heard tragic stories, and the Febreeze website itself says this about safet with pet birds:
":Answer Birds are reported to be uniquely sensitive to a number of household products and environmental factors. As you know your bird best, use your judgment when using Febreze products in your home. If you ordinarily avoid using scented products around your birds, we recommend not using Febreze, or any other scented household product, around your bird."
Sounds like they're dodging. About their 'Noticeables" poduct, they say:
"Question Is it safe to use Febreze NOTICEables around pets? Answer Yes. Febreze NOTICEables has been thoroughly evaluated by independent veterinarians and other scientists to ensure pet safety. When used as directed, it's safe to use around pets, including cats and dogs. Like all household cleaning products and air fresheners, pets that are highly sensitive to scents and chemicals (like birds) should be removed from the area during use. Do not use Febreze NOTICEables in small, confined pet areas without adequate ventilation. Keep out of reach of children and pets."
While these products MAY be safe to use if you remove a pet bird from the room during use, if I loved my pet I wouldn't risk having it in the house in case I forgot this or someone else found and used it.
