Has anyone tried these candles?

Okay so I know candles plus birds dont usually go, but this ladie says she uses them IN her bird room. I just wanted to know if anyone has had any success with them.

Please let me know.

Thank you

If they are scented then no - and dont - and she is wrong if she does.

Excerpt from the website:
We use only the highest quality fragrance oils from the world’s leading fragrance companies and spare no expense to give you the most realistic and incredibly smelling candle in the world!

I'm sorry she uses them in her bird room. There are only unscented candles in my home for emergency and/ or mood lights

Yeah, those aren't supposed to be in her bird room. She just don't know better or something.

I don't have a single candle in my home, I just use battery powered lanterns if the power goes off. They last longer than a candle would anyway.

I didnt think that it made any sense. She said that it is the parafin(SP?) that was bad but I was under the impression that is was scents that were bad. We were candle people(had tons of them) until we got our baby. I was hoping to be able to have a candle or two again. We have none I just am not willing to risk it. We have laterns and flash lights and extra batteries, the power always goes out this time of year in our city.

Being a person with asthma and alergies, I read any info I can on both subjects. They all say that candles are air pollution. For that reason I don't subject myself to them let alone birds.
