According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, fumes from Teflon are lethal to birds. Toxicity occurs when pots are overheated releasing fumes into the air that are inhaled, causing irreversible damage to the lungs. Even if they are in the other room they can die. http://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Clemente-CA/Mikes-Pet-Care/189572726193
