Non-Stick Pans???

You have to overheat your nonstick pans before it gives off the toxic fumes. That happens at the temperature the pans are rated for. Mostly around 350 or 375? 

the first time the non-stick pan is used it burns off the excess Teflon and other sealants.

These fumes (in the same room with the bird) can kill the bird- it's not great for you either.

I use cast iron and season with bacon lard- it's more non-stick (when done right- see LODGE USA made cast iron) and the only thing that you end up getting is more iron, not odd chemicals.

The danger would be if you kept your parrot in the kitchen, we keep our cocktails in the kitchen-dinning room area but as far away from the fire as possible (we cook with propane) the distance is about 30 feet.

I'm a big cast iron fan myself. I got the lodge cast iron 12 inch pan, and a coleman dutch oven just recently. Also got some thin skillets, more for frying fish, or serving plate than anything else. That cast iron pan can make great crepe!

If nonstick coating overheats, the fumes emitted can kill all the birds in a home. True, the likelihood of this happening during normal usage is low, but accidents happen -- someone could forget to turn off a burner. I know someone who lost almost all the birds in her house when she set her new oven to self-clean. She started two parrot clubs on Long Island (where I'm from), and would bring her macaw family to the meetings. I got to meet her birds before they died, and can tell you that the shortened story below doesn't fully go into the heartbreak she and her husband endured. To me, a pan isn't worth the risk, and I use cast-iron.

Sadly, like AquaEyes story, I also know of someone who lost birds in her home when a non stick waffle iron was left on too long.

Once a person gets used to cooking with stainless and cast iron it is impossible to go back!

As others have said, once you go cast iron, you won't want to go back.  

A well seasoned cast iron pan will also ensure nothing sticks to it.  You just have to make sure to dry it well to prevent rust.  No air drying for cast iron.  It deserves so much more...

What are your temps year around?

My collared doves are out year around, in a place with covered on 5 of 6 sides, in FL (20*F-110*F)
