This was a shocker ~ I never knew cooking with non stick and Teflon pans could kill your bird.
Dear Peggy,
A few days ago I got this tragic email from one of my subscribers... who asked if I would please pass it along to you so that you don't have to go through the same pain she and her family are going through right now.
Please find her message below, and take it SERIOUSLY!
>>> A Subscriber's Tragic Story:
[Chet,]
I have a horrible incident to share. My hopes would be that you will include this somewhere in your literature to other bird owners and make it readily and painfully obvious information.
Yesterday I was preparing food for my birthday party which is taking place this evening. I brought out a roast to cook, but my oven needed cleaned. In my haste and anxiousness to get prepared, I ignorantly opted to use the [Specific Brand Name Withheld For Legal Reasons] Tabletop Roaster my mom left here at Christmas
time.
Within 2 hours my beloved Nicky, 15 year old African Gray Congo, was deceased on the bottom of his cage.
That roaster was NON-STICK Cookware... and is LETHAL to BIRDS.
This is HUGELY important to get out to your readers. I only wish we knew this PRIOR to the incident as he would still happily be calling and singing from his perch. Instead, he's been buried and is gone forever from our lives. Oh how we miss him so.
I killed my best friend with ignorance. My beloved Nicky. My life, let alone birthday, will never be the same. Nor will my kids who haven't quit crying... nor my husband who had a hard time burying Nicky last night with us.
I'm doing now what I wish I would have done a LONG time ago.... cleaning my house of anything and everything TEFLON and NON-STICK.
We hope to find another resident for Nicky's cage... although the hardest realization is that Nicky can never be replaced. We miss him dearly. I am so filled with guilt for my ignorance which caused us to learn the hardest lesson ever.
'Night Night' my beloved feathered friend.
Brenda
