Do not house birds in the kitchen or have them in there with you while you are cooking. The fumes from non-stick pans are poisonous to all birds and can on occasion cause instant death. These fumes can come off any hot non-stick surface around the home, including:
frying panssaucepans
cooking utensils
sandwich toasters
grilling machines
hair-straighteners or curling irons
irons and ironing board covers
coffee makersbread makers
and anything else that is considered to be non-stick.
As well as the poisonous fumes, kitchens are unsafe places for birds anyway. Not only do the temperatures get too high for them to deal with but hot oils, boiling water and sharp knives, do not ever mix well with birds. Whether they are sat on you or safely away from your cooking, if something suddenly startles your bird, it can be dangerous for both of you!
