So sorry.
I have parrots and know that you can't spray anything that has fumes in it, bug spray, air freshners, even oven cleaner, and also the draft.

I sprayed febreeze, but not near them. I'm not a sprayer, but thanks for the advice. Parrots are so funny! They remind me of little old sailors.

Can you post some parrot pictures?

Now I need a name. Ideas? I'll post a picture later.

I will have to scan them. They are so funny, Cleo is the Macaw and she calls us by name and can talk just like us. I had a cookatoo, she drove me nuts. She screemed all day if I didn't give her my full attention. One day, she says,
shut the FUUUUUU up, RIght NOW. I am sure that I said that to her, she was a bad girl.

Thank goodness parakeets don't pick up speech fast at all!

A friend of mine found a parrot (I don't remember the details). She posted signs
around the neighborhood, and this guy comes by to claim "his" parrot. My friend saw that the parrot had no reaction at all to this man, so she told him she would have to wait and see if anyone else claimed him and could prove it, and that she would get back to him.

A few days later, a woman called and when she came over, the parrot immediately said "Hellloooo Mama!!!" She went home with her parrot.

Parrots are so smart, did you see the one in China that escaped and the police caught him, took him to the station and it never said a word. They called a Vet to come in and check him out and he said
his owners name and full address? He was returned to his owner.
My Macaw says over 350 sentences. My favoite is when you give her a treat and her eyes dialate and she says, "Is it good?, do you like it?" She knows us by name, so many things, they are great buddies except for the screaming.

How cute! Mine just chirp, but I love the sound. It sounds like they're singing their joy of just being alive.
