I'm still going to run mine far away from the birds until it gets that new smell off though.

I often see DeLonghi recommended by bird owners :) I'm thinking of getting one to have on hand in case something happens with the heat in my building. I've only had two instances where the heater didn't work but better safe than sorry!
