Your house setup is ideal. Your birds are extremely far away
from your cooking area. You won't have the slightest problems
as far as air coming in, that won't be a problem either. Any
air that comes in has to go out and the only way that someone
can have flowing air in a house is by having 2 windows open so
no air will just stay there and get stagnant.
As far as carpet fresh,if it's a spray that quickly fades away
then there's no problem. That applies to all sprays that
quickly disappear. If you need to clean the bird's area, just
move the cages to another place until all the smell is gone. If
you feel nervous, JUST MOVE THE CAGES. Don't let your house get
dirty! If you do then you're gonna need to use much stronger
cleaners in the future. Also as far as carpet cleaners--if
you're gonna do a major steam rug cleaning then your birds are
definitely have to be moved because what's in that stuff
lingers and lingers.
This is a little tip and trick when cleaning a room or area
with heavy duty stuff. After you finish cleaning whatever area
you're in, either put an exhaust fan on in the window and let
it suck out the chemical odors. If you don't have an exhaust
fan, simply take a regular fan, put it next to the window and
have it aiming out the window. Turn on the fan, have the air
blowing out the window and it'll act just like an exhaust
unit. Let it run for a while until the air is nice and fresh.---
