Yeah I know, I think it actually has a kind of pleasant fresh-cut grassy kind of smell. I think this is a city-vs-country issue... I grew up on 5 acres of land with lots of animals, so I like natural smells. He grew up always in cities, apartments, houses in crowded neighborhoods, his family pets growing up always smelled like whatever perfumey stuff the groomers put on their fur. He actually LOVES the smell of bleach, ick!
With Thanos though, we can't use harsh chemicals like pinesol, bleach etc (thankfully, cause they give me a headache) because the fumes can give parrots respiratory issues. Soo... he's getting used to my preference for more natural cleaning solutions - vinegar, citrus, GSE, etc.
I don't mind keeping the hay off the carpeted areas though anyway, it clogged our vacuum cleaner up and I had to take it apart to clean out the tubes twice cleaning it up. I really do need one of those shop-vacs you were talking about.
He also likes to keep our yard so short and "perfect" looking... it looks ugly to me lol
