Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / February 2004Oil paint fumes?
I am an artist and sometimes I paint with oil paint. I used to use linseed oil paint but I switched to walnut oil paint. It has much less odor. I'm thinking of buying a cockatiel. I was wondering if the fumes from the walnut oil would bother the Cockatiel? Also, would they try to eat the wet paint? It's toxic if it's ingested. > I am an artist and sometimes I paint with oil paint. I used to use > linseed oil paint but I switched to walnut oil paint. It has much less > odor.

Fumes of any kind can be very dangerous for a bird and it would almost certainly walk over and try to nibble on the paint. According to North American WHMIS information systems "fumes" are fine particulates suspended in the air. I do not believe paint falls into this category unless you are sanding dried paint. Although they are very often misnamed "fumes" the correct term would be "vapors" Assuming, from your email you are in the UK somewhere this information may not apply. Just an interesting tidbit. > I am an artist and sometimes I paint with oil paint. I used to use > linseed oil paint but I switched to walnut oil paint.

Although they are very often > misnamed "fumes" the correct term would be "vapors" If I'm not mistaken, fumes, vapors, aromas, and the like are all fine particulates suspended in the air. So, if you smell something, you are actually physically taking in part of the object. > Assuming, from your email you are in the UK somewhere this information > may > not apply. Why would that be? Physics are different in the UK? > Just an interesting tidbit. Hardly.  Signature~Marco~ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Mojo, El Gato Diablo... or like Chuck's been calling it lately "The Nasty Pussy" is getting the 'snip snip' soon, we called today to make the appointment.

Maybe he'll settle the hell down then. You gotta watch if you can ... pretty fascinating really. But I imagine it's easier for a girl to watch than a boy. It's more like snip/squeeze/plop snip/squeeze/plop L - (if Chuck ever calls me that, he will be served a knuckle sandwich!) |
