Guten Morgen!
Habe soeben folgendes e-mail einer Dame erhalten, die auf der HolisticBird List ist. Es ist leider in englisch, aber die Information ist so wichtig, dass ich mich entschlossen habe es trotzdem hier hinein zu kopieren.
Kurz und knapp zusammengefasst, hat diese Frau ein neues Sofa gekauft, dass vom Hersteller mit Stainguard (dieses Produkt oder so was ähnlcihes gibt es hier in Deutschland auch!) behandelt worden war.
Trotz Aussage des Herstellers, dass dieses Mittel für Vögel vollkommen ungefährlich sei, war ihr Papagei,d en sie seit schon 16 Jahren hatte innerhalb von drei Tagen tot (beim Lesen hatte ich Tränen in den Augen - so was schreckliches). Die Autopsie ergab, dass es tatsächlich an diesem Mittel gelegen hat. Sie wird den Hersteller jetzt verklagen, damit in Zukunft entsprechende Warnhinweise angebracht werden müssen.
LG,
Ann.

This appeared on one of the bird lists I'm on today. Since this
killed her bird, it's wise to figure it may not good for our other
pets, or humans either, and certainly not for children. - M.

Hello Everyone;
This is my first time on this site. I want to share an experience I
recently had that caused my beautiful Mexican Red Head to die.
I purchased a new sofa from Hansen's Furniture Store in Winton,
California. The sofa was treated with a fabric protector called
STAINSAFE. I was told that stainsafe was harmless to birds. 36
hours after the sofa was delivered my beloved SQUIGMUND died. On
the morning of the second day that I owned the sofa Squigmund began
to have labored breathing, and he was weak. I rushed him to his
Avian vet. Squigmund had absolutely no strength to stand up in his
carrying case so I had to clutch him to my chest while driving a
five speed car. I was crying. I knew Squigmund was dying so I
tried to collect myself, and tell him how much I loved him and I
thanked him for all the joy, and comfort he gave me. He died 4
hours later at the vet's office.
A nacropsey was perfomed by his usual vet who reported that
Squigmund had leisions all over his lungs with an enlarged heart,
and spleen. She said that he was poisioned to death. We decided to
have a pathologist in sacramento who specializes in these areas of
causes of death to birds. She confirmed that the cause of death was
INHALATION TOXICITY do to the new sofa that was treated with
Stainsafe.
I saved my money for a new sofa and I wanted my home to be cozy for
myself, and Squigmund. Look at what I have done. I allowed this
deadly sofa into my home which killed my darling , sweet boy
Squigmund. My companion for 16 years. He could sing "I left My
Heart in San Francisco". He loved to flirt with all the girls young
and old alike. He would whistle at them! He could laugh and he
loved having his head scratched. He was a true comedian.
The pathologist said that not only is Stainsafe a killer to birds but
also related that new furniture can sometimes emitt gases that are
deadly to birds as well.
Squigmund was my only Parrot, and you can imagine the quality of our
relationship. I cry every single day since he died on April 4, 2002.
For as long as I shall live, I will never again experience loving a
parrot like I did with Squigmund.
I have hired an animals rights lawyer in San Frnacisco . She was
appalled at what happened to Squigmund. We will be demanding that
warning labels be placed on this product Stainsafe to warn other
companion bird owners of the dangers.
Thank you for reading this. Please tell others about this toxic
killer Stainsafe.. I do not want any other bird to ever suffer a
heinous death like my Squigmund did.

Man muss ja wirklich alles auf Herz und Nieren prüfen. Ich hab auch ne Ledercouch, aber da ist alles i.O., denn meine Geier kraxeln schon seit Monaten drauf herum.
