Are cast iron skillets safe to use with a parakeet in the house?

I don't have issues.

Non stick is OK too as long as it isn't heated too hot.

personally I wouldn’t use my iron skillets because they are worth much more to me for human cooking......but i don’t see any reason that they would be harmful to birds

We use cast iron pans around our cockatiels and they are absolutely fine and they are a good alternative to anything with a Teflon coating.

Yeah, pretty sure cast iron is fine.

I second this! I use cast iron to cook alot.

I agree with everyone! Cast iron is safe.

Cast Iron is fine, nothing there to harm your birds unless you spray some Pam or something on it and burn it. Mind you if you burn stuff, the smoke from that is possibly harmful, but the castiron itself is not going to make any fumes that can hurt the birds.
