    Fumes emitted from overheated nonstick (Teflon) coating cookware can kill your bird in minutes. Tobacco smoke is extremely harmful, as are fumes from cleaning products, nail polish, glue, hairspray ect. If you can detect an odor do not use that product around your birds. Below is a list to help you identify products that may be toxic to your birds. Remember this is not a complete list. Just because it is not on here doesn't mean it is not deadly to your birds, use your common sense and if ever in doubt whether an item is safe better to err on the side of caution.

Also See Teflon Products for a list on products that have been known to contain Teflon.
