He never thought about it and used that put and fell asleep, he woke after the pot had recently boiled dry. We lost 10 baby birds; conures & lovebirds. We lost several pairs of conures, a pair of caiques, plus several lovebirds and tiels. He called me at work devestated. the birds were in many rooms with doors closed; and even with opening windows we continued to lose several for the rest of the day.
IMO using teflon isnt an acceptable risk in any way.

I red about that in a lot of articles, the reason why they actually ended up dying is because the teflon over heated really bad, that's when its actually extremelly deadly to them.
I red some posts here where people would cook with teflon for a little and their birds were fine, and with the person who posted in this thread too but she actually put her bird away from the kitchen.
