How to protect my canary from paint fumes when painting rooms?

Question

Ringo, is my Canary. I need to paint four rooms, badly. I would like to use the Primer/Paint combination, (don't know the brand). We can block off two doorways with very Heavy Plastic.(Industrial type). Also, put a Fan in the room to get rid of any fumes that may get in the room Ringo is in. Is this Okay to do? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered

I would definitely make sure the area you are painting in stays well ventilated and that you have some place that you can keep Ringo (living room or a room that won't be painted) while you do so. Keeping fans open, opening windows (depending on the weather conditions) in painted rooms for 24-48 hours, etc can help keep the area ventilated as well. Low VOC paints can also be less irritating on the respiratory tract. If you notice any signs that Ringo may be affected such as listless behavior, trouble breathing, etc, moving him to a well-ventilated area and/or seeking veterinary help is best.
