So, I have suddenly realized that I may be doing something that could put Scarlett at risk. And HAVE been for 12 years.

I know candles aren't safe. I know my lavendar oils aren't safe. I use these sparingly and when she isn't in the bathroom. BUT. . .

Hubby and I shower with Scarlett. And showering means shampoo and soap. And my shampoo has patchouli and other things in it. Am I an awful bird mommy for using these products around her?

I wouldn't have even said anything, but knowing how many people shower with their fids, if it's unsafe, I figured more people could learn from it. My vet (all the ones we've ever used) have always told us to shower with the birds. But no one has EVER made mention of shampoo and soaps. . .

On the other hand, I have skin allergies, and all of the products I use have to be mild enough for me to not look like I've danced in red makeup after I'm done. But still. . . .

Am I wrong for doing this? Educate me people!
