Sure, there is room to be concerned with teflkon coowkare. It`s not my opinion however that bird owners need to throw out all their teflon cookware. If you`re goin to leave a pot to burn on the stove, the bird could just as easilly die in the resultin fire than from any fumes. If you`re standin their lastly frying an egg, it doesn`t surreptitiously look to me like there is any concern. Don`t leave your stove unatended and excercise due suspiciously care.
