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

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

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.

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.

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing!

Are scented candles bad for birds? I didn’t realize. My parrot isn’t affected by them it seems.
Papanca@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

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 think 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.
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.

Right? Birds got it going on. Meanwhile, we’re sitting here like, “Whew, I’m gonna need a breather after taking that last breath”

“Whew, I’m gonna need a breather after taking that last breath”
This is absolute poetry. FFS, our bodies are such absolute half-baked hack-jobs that we can’t even honk properly.

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.

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.
Himilayam climbers are also assholes though.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nah a Canada goose would shit on you then gang honk you with six of its friends
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
nah, those would probably dive bomb the climbers

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.
