Is the coating safe if you have birds?

This pan has a ceramic based non stick surface. I have been cooking with it constantly for nearly two years and there is not one scratch on the cooking surface. I am not sure it 's a coating. And I am certain I do not know what you are asking regarding birds. But this pan is very tough and well worth the money.

In my opinion,this a very safe product and I have cooked many birds in ours. The responsive heat controls are a help whether cooking chicken,squab,wild duck or pheasant. We have also cooked turkey parts and have detected no evidence of toxicity in over two years of use.

It's difficult to find pans that do not have hazardous fumes for cage birds when you're cooking. This one will be safe for my Parrot in a nearby room.

We've had this unit for about 6 months. We've had no problems with the coating. It stays cleaner easier than the old unit we replaced.

Honestly, I would not risk it. The coating is similar to the kind on dish racks..kind of rubbery. I am afraid it would melt it.

I personally wouldn't put a bird in there, I bought mine for decoration only and have two silk birds in it...I think it would be very difficult to keep clean.

I built a water system out if PVC using these nipples and the birds had no trouble finding and using them. The chicks are very aware of their surroundings and are attracted to shiny things. They will naturally peck at them and will find that they are their source of water in no time. They tend to drip a little if not properly installed. Use Teflon tape when you screw them in and they should be fine.

I have never owned birds so I do not know how the outgassing, if any, would affect them. I have Pomeranians that are not affected at all.

I painted 2 metal bird that I had outside & then sealed them with a spray epoxy once the painted cured a couple of days. I had no problems.

I believe that by law any bird feathers for sale have to be sterilized, Im sure the millinery industry wouldn't tolerate anything else. That's all they'd need is bird mites!!

we have had the fountain for almost a year with no problems. I would suspect that you can coat with a polymer coating as the unit appears to be made of fiberglas

No, it's not silicone. It is Teflon. Don't buy this if you have pet birds. The insert that comes with it says...Warning for Teflon Oven or Pan Liner Baking Mat:1. Do not cover or block holes or vents inside the oven.2. Avoid direct contact with the heat element or open flame. Don't use with aluminum foil.3. For optimum circulation, the oven liner must not touch the walls or door of the oven.4. All Teflon and non-stick products are not recommended to those who have birds in their house. Use this item may cause damage to your birds.

No, it is not plastic coated metal. This is a much better barrier for deer than it is for a raccoon or possum......Although it seems to work well for ground squirrels as well. (I use it to protect my grape vines.) The bottom line is that for raccoon, it is going to depend on how badly he wants in. I might try putting vegetables or fruit trees behind a roll of it, but not chickens or a coy pond. The raccoon would want to get at those too badly.Hope it helps.

I don't have a bird, but would recommend checking with an avian-specialized vet. I know that some birds can be especially sensitive.

Not sure what it is made of but I did call the manufacturer and it does contain PTFE, so it would not be safe for people with pet birds.

No problem... It has a plastic insert-it might get slightly wet, but the birds don't seem to mind. I live in PA if that helps & I've had this feeder for several seasons & it's the best I've owned.

You might have to contact the maker. It's not toxic to birds. It is a hard flat black finish.

It's actually a glaze not a paint so I think it will last until I break it? It is beautiful and the birds love it!
