I found this article on Teflon (aka, the stuff used in non-stick pans) very interesting. It seems that the toxic part of Teflon (PTFE) has been banned since 2013. The article focuses on the health of people, but do you think it applies to birds as well? I have read several bird articles that reference the PTFE fumes being what is toxic to parrots. Do you guys think non-stick pans made after 2013 might be okay to use?

This is interesting. I would assume it doesn't make a difference, as everywhere (including bird rescues) still says it.
