Items made with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE/PFOA/Teflon) is toxic to birds. The gas released when heated is extremely dangerous and may result in death.

Avoid using non-stick coated items such as woks, frying pans, baking trays and baskets, waffle irons, George Forman grills, and similar heated items. PTFE is sneaky and can also be found in irons, ironing boards/covers, glue guns, certain heat-lamps, heavy duty aluminum foil, oven liners, and hair dryers.

The self-cleaning oven cycle is also a big no-no.

If you're concerned that your bird has been consumed, inhaled or chewed anything that may be toxic or they're showing signs of toxicity, contact your local Unusual Pet Vets team immediately.
