My parents just bought an air fryer (searched online and thankfully its a safe one to use around birds) but they are wanting to buy liners/trays for inside the air fryer. Are there any that are safe for the birds..?? All I'm seeing are non stick ones. Just want to buy something safe to use before my parents buy and use something that isn't.

I use very good quality silicone forms and bags and some smaller Pyrex or other oven safe dishes in mine sometimes- we are in the process of trying to lessen our environmental impact and ridding our shopping and home of unnecessary disposable items (gladwrap, single use plastic bags, plastic or paper plates etc) was the first things we did so we hardly ever use anything that’s a single use item now.

They’re generally fairly easy to clean up though so there’s really no need to use the liners that social media seems to be showing non stop.

I’m not one to buy single use disposable things like liners for the air fryer or crock pot etc. so my suggestion is to look at single person serve baking dishes and things like that instead of liners.

I'm with @Shezbug - we avoid single use things here also.
I have silicone moulds for my airfryers. I have used small ramekins and pots that are for the oven. I haven't used glass, but there's no reason pyrex wouldn't work well as it's made for the oven like She's said :)
Silicone moulds can all go in the dishwasher, though I hand wash everything and never had any issues with sticking or hard to clean foods. If there's something tough stuck, soak in hot water with fairy washing up liquid for 20 mins and then try cleaning again.

If they are a good quality silicone with no fillers they should be fine.
