The Association of Avian Veterinarians has advised that any cooking fumes, smoke and odors that have little or no effect on people can seriously sicken and even kill birds, often quite quickly. Cooking fumes from any type of unattended or overheated cookware or even certain overheated food ingredients can damage a bird's lungs with alarming speed. This is why bird owners should take steps to protect their pets, such as keeping their birds out of the kitchen, never leaving cookware unattended, never allowing pots and pans to overheat, and making sure that their kitchen is properly ventilated at all times. While our Infused Anodized cookware will not become damaged with higher temperatures- certainly higher temperatures puts your pet birds at a greater risk. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with information on what our Infused Anodized surface is sealed with due to its proprietary nature.
