| I began to make candles a while ago. I have been giving them away for a while and now sell them to make up some of the money for the material I put into the candles. Here is my website so far: http://scentifulcandles.bigcartel.com/  Thanks for looking! | |

| Some scents in scented candles have been reported to cause problems for birds. Some people think paraffin is potentially harmful and others think the wicks can be problematic.
I suppose the bottom line is that bird owners are not a large market overlap with scented candles.
That said, I've been known to burn them, just not in the direct presence of my birds and with good ventilation. | |

| Cupcake Candles looks so original!  Have you tried somewhere outside the bird forum? Candles and birds = not good together:( Good luck! | |
