Very GOOD article better than what I dug up.... I had no Idea there were so many applications...

Me either. I heard about the whole hair dryer thing from an old boss of mine that raised Quaker parrots. Never researched it just trusted his knowledge.

those look, um, uncomfortable!

To say the least!

I didn't even know they used Teflon on bulbs


This I knew since I've had parakeets and cockatiels. I also knew that some hair dryers were toxic because of the Teflon thing... But I didn't know it affected poultry the same way. So should we be checking our hair dryers before we use them on our birds?




Oh man.
Our boys girlfriend is the same way. Remember my whole story he didn't go to collage cause he had to stay and take care of her. . we let her live with us for a while and then they finally got an apartment?

Ya. They broke up over New year's. She's been cheating. Boy is heart broken. Girl claims she's wanted to break up for a year now
Well guess since she had nowhere else to go it was just more convenient
To use him.
I knew she was trouble. But he had to see for himself.
I totally figured would be in the same situation your in right now I've been dreading it. Sorry to hear that Lisa

Interesting article on Teflon and birds.

Most interesting part about heating pads. I realize many on BYC love the MHP, but I've never been a fan. Now I'm sure I'm not a fan.

From that article:

Heating pads: It is almost impossible to find a heating pad or electric blanket that does not use PTFE-coated wires in its construction. Since these wires are specifically meant to be heated, they are in danger of outgassing -- especially if the wires are old or cracked. If you need to provide heat for your bird, use a ceramic bulb or other infrared source that does not rely on heated wires.

Those are way prettier than mine!View attachment 1228566

I'm having a hard time finding any "gain" where those are concerned, just pain....
