Toxins

Picture
Birds are very sensitive to chemicals, so you have to be extremely careful. They can die easily from a toxin in the air or injested.

Teflon

Respiratory distress to your bird, resulting in the bird falling to the ground, crying for you in a panic and then passing away almost within 5 minutes. Please do not expose your bird to the risks of Teflon. It would be a good idea to make your household Teflon free. Use Stainless Steel, Ceramic, or Clay Pots instead of the so convenient Teflon coated non stick pans, we find so useful within the kitchen. Also remember there are lots more electrical items within the kitchen environment that contain Teflon than we think.
