Question

How sensitive are birds to burning paraffin and/or kerosene?

I have one electric lamp in my room and two oil lamps. During the summer, it's too hot to read during the day, so I like to read at night. But the electric lamp is exceedingly bright and lacks a dimmer, and I didn't want to disturb Blue or the Dumbi while I read. So I wanted to get out one of my oil lamps.

Then I realized that I hadn't actually used them in my room since getting parakeets. I know the Dumbi aren't sensitive to it, but would Blue be harmed by the fumes?

Anyone?
