I can't help you with this but I hope someone responds.
I personally only have stainless steel and cast iron pans/pots because I get sick from food cooked in non-stick pans/pots.
 
Teflon starts to break down around 500 degrees. Water boils at 212 +/- based on salinity, trace metals, atmospheric pressure.

Assuming the pan wasn't boiled till completely empty of water, and then cooked some more, you and your birds are just fine.

Over about 650 degrees (its higher than that, working from memory here - but not much higher) teflon begins to seriously off-gas and decompose. That's downright deadly in an enclosed space. Which is why you never put teflon coated pans under a broiler or on a propane burner if you are wise...
