This is really important for bird families.
**PLEASE BE AWARE -- UPDATE -- NOVEMBER WARNING!! Thanksgiving holiday is coming up, and so I just wanted to inform and/ or remind everyone out there to please DO NOT USE TURKEY-ROASTING BAGS!! They have been determined unsafe for use around birds (your indoor pet birds, that is..) . There are documented cases of birds having died during use of these products. It is not worth the risk!!
*PLEASE BE AWARE*
There is a newer non-stick foil being marketed that is NOT SAFE for cooking with birds in the house. This comes in all store brands too, so please note the label when you make your purchase!
*Edit *-- I have had some inquiries as to why the non-stick foil is unsafe. While the makers of Reynolds Wrap brand state their brand is teflon free, there are silicones used that are still considered unsafe as coatings on cookware, where birds are concerned. There is plenty of discussion on parrot groups and boards in support of this finding. It is the general consensus that all non- stick coatings are not safe for birds.

For the ones who failed to read the post clearly, this is NOT REGULAR EVERY DAY FOIL! It has a non-stick coating applied. It has NOT been around for 60 years. I don't care how long anyone has been using this or that. I'm telling what I know to be true. Please follow through the whole article before posting stupid comments. They will only be deleted.
