So today my family went to my grandmother's house to spend Christmas at, and I brought my cockatiel, Charlie with me. He was fine hanging out in the main room by the kitchen for hours but a little after my family began cooking, he began to act out of ordinary.
He was yawning excessively, with no end. One yawn after another after another. He also was shaking his head. I realized that even after telling my family the dangers of teflon, they were in fact cooking with a teflon pan. I took him into another room that was cooler and fresh and he seemed to calm down and stop yawning a few minutes later. But it scared me a lot!
Was he acting this way because of the exposure to teflon?
Also, just an fyi we were informed by staff at the store that teflon could be used safely as long as it was not overheated because it only released fumes when the pan was overheated. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
