However, if you have pet birds and you would light a scented candle, or burn a non stick pot, these poisonous substances will affect them so much harder than for humans, often with deadly consequences
Also having a 3D printer. They typically belch a lot of particulates into the air while printing not to mention depending on the kind of hot end you have it can basically be the equivalent of burning a nonstick pan every time you print.
EDIT: This also applies for resin printers BTW just in lightly different ways.
I'm just printing PLA and PETG so I don't usually have the exhaust fan running. It's also in a storage room in the basement, so no one is around it. But if I print other types I'll definitely move it so it vents outside with the fan.
I haven't had it long enough to print in the summer, but depending on humidity I may move it to the garage.
Yes, according to vets and avian specialists, they pose a significant danger for birds.
Personally, i wouldn't risk it. Birds are very sensitive to polluted air, way more than humans are.
Hence the idiom "canary in a coal mine" for early detection of a failure. Miners used to carry a caged bird with them to detect pockets of deadly gasses. If the canary suddenly drops dead, it's time to get the hell out.
Imagine your blood flow was not unidirectional. Not arteries and veins, just… vessels for both directions. You'd like – have to pump blood down into your extremities one heartbeat, and with the next one draw it back towards the heart. With the added malus that you only get partial replacement of blood, because you cant completely constrict your vessels.
You probably couldnt even leave your bed, let alone stand on two legs that way.
congratulations, you discovered the Arachnid blood system. they have a one way circulatory system, which they need because unlike other insects, they have actual lungs.
It is not the first time that climbers have been observed in the Himalayas, who reached the top of the mountain with the last efforts with oxygen masks, while the cherpas were already up waiting with a cigarette in their hands.

In geese it’s called a vent.

Burning a non stick pot can also fuck you up pretty badly, though. Please do not try this at home.

No birds, but a dog and humans. I got a fairly inexpensive enclosure for mine. Even has a vent/fan if I want to exhaust it outside. I would recommend.
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 164d
As long as you're venting it sufficiently you should be good
My setup can change the air in my apartment about 6 times per hour
But mine also runs double duty during the summer time (lease says no AC so it get HOT during the summer) to help cool it down after dark.

Are scented candles bad for birds? I didn't realize. My parrot isn't affected by them it seems.
Edit: well no more scented candles for me it seems

My favourite tidbit about them is how there were dedicated devices to bring them back from the brink of unconsciousness: https://museumcrush.org/this-device-was-used-to-resuscitate-canaries-in-coal-mines/

Be careful. It may seem that there's no effect, but there might be long-term consequences

Such a power honk

There's at least one Himalayan goose out there keeping a tally of climbers they've honked off the mountain. It's not just me who thinks so, right?

Himalayan Goose: "Honk! Honk!"
Mountain Climber on Everest:
"Get back here..."
Takes breath of oxygen
"...you son of a bitch!"

Unidirectional air flow, whats the big d… oh.

Right? Birds got it going on. Meanwhile, we're sitting here like, "Whew, I'm gonna need a breather after taking that last breath"
smeg@feddit.uk · 23 pts · 165d
This is absolute poetry. FFS, our bodies are such absolute half-baked hack-jobs that we can't even honk properly.

Yeah but they get badass hydraulic locomotion that way. Imagine you had no muscles and you lifted your arms by manipulating your blood pressure.

Or it’s just because geese are assholes.
Himalayan climbers are also assholes though.
