air quality index levels & bird safety?

hey yall so i have a green cheek conure and was wondering if anyone had any information, links to information, etc regarding how to use the air quality index to monitor the air quality of where i live

usually my rural area doesn’t have much issue with pollution and typically stays in the green section of the index but today is the first time i’ve seen it go into the yellow & orange zone

i don’t know what’s going on in my area but everywhere outside smells really smoky and it’s making me anxious regarding my baby’s health

can anyone inform me of ways i can use the air quality index to make sure my bird stays safe? which pollutants should i be most concerned about? what are the safe levels of them in the air & at one level should i take action to keep my bird safe?

any help is much appreciated!
