I have a cocktail, it's only the two of us, he's my buddy for certain. Birds have very sensitive little lungs. I do take reasonable precautions around him. I try not to vape directly in front of him, but he's usually perched on my shoulder. We've been together a long time, I haven't noticed any ill effects yet. Doesn't seem to affect him at all. I'd say a small bird is a pretty good test. Like I said, I try my best to steer him clear, but it's not always possible.
