Hello,
I've been looking through the threads for bird-safe appliances but can't seem to see anything about heated clothes dryers to dry clothes with instead of tumble dryers, apparently, they're cheaper to run. Does anyone have any experience of using them safely around their birds?
I've found a few that list their materials as Aluminium and ABS but I don't know if the plastic could give off fumes when heated and left on for long periods of time. I'm aware of the dangers of non-stick cookware etc. so didn't want to buy something that was going to be similar.
I've attached some pictures for reference.
Thank you!
(Also, not related but we recently had our conure Phoenix DNA tested and turns out she's a girl!)
