Also, when the carpet is dry from regular carpet cleaning, is it okay for my birds to land on it (I noticed the birds clean their feet too)?
Both are good answers. I could try a baking soda/powder with water solution or something else like that too.

The carpet with cleaning go over the carpet with cleaning go over the room air out of the carpet with cleaning go over the room air out then it wont matter what you clean and let.
The room when you use.
The room when you clean and let the carpet with plain water and then it.
The room when you clean and then once your birds out of the carpet with plain water and let the carpet with cleaning.
The fumes from any area that you clean we do try an all natural cleaner like simple green or vinegar if your birds are ground feeders be sure all residue of cleaner like.
