Keep in mind that birds do not need to ingest these toxins - breathing the fumes can be enough to cause death. Basically anything that smells toxic, don't take a chance!!!

Other Common Hazards

Animal- cat & dog saliva)

Aquariums if uncovered- birds can?t swim)

Carpet if toenails will snag

Carpet fresh products

Ceiling fans

Children- unless they are supervised and/or know how to handle birds- age and maturity of the child is important but don?t forget they have friends who should not handle the bird without your supervision

Chimneys/Fireplace/Wood stoves

Curtains or drapes if toenails can get caught

Electrical cords- may be electrocuted and could start a fire

Electrical fixtures, appliances and wires

Feet- watch the floor even if you think the bird is on its T-stand. If you leave it even for a minute, it may come looking for you

Fannies- look where you sit

Hair spray and other sprays

Jewelry of all kinds- looks so pretty and sparkly- it may be easily swallowed

Lead- don?t forget the lead weights used in drapes

Mirrors

Phone cords- easy to strangle

Plug-in air fresheners

Pots and skillets on the kitchen stove

Pots and skillets, even those not coated in Teflon have plastic handles- don?t let the handle get too hot

PTFE- Polytetrafluoroethylene- Fumes given off by non-stick pans (Teflon & Silverstone) that is overheated to 536 degrees or higher. (280 or higher, Celsius). Very toxic to birds, death can occur within minutes. There is no cure for birds that inhale the fumes- they recover on their own or they die.

Self-cleaning ovens- be sure your bird is outside when you clean the oven- the fumes are toxic

Space heaters

Stained glass decorations if they contain lead

Stove tops- hot burners

Windows- open or closed

Teflon coating is on many new appliances- hand held hair dryers, toasters, room or space heaters, electric appliances (electric stir-fry pans may not have to be overheated to give off deadly fumes), non-stick coated irons and ironing board covers, etc., etc., etc.
