can self cleaning oven fumes kill birds

Self-cleaning ovens are indeed deadly to birds. Moving birds to another room during the self cleaning cycle might be OK in some homes, but it is best to take birds outside (in their cages) until the process is complete and the house is fully aired out.

YES!! Any new appliance – I would also include crock pots, toaster ovens etc too 🙂

Yes I think it’s important to also bring up new ovens omit a chemical that is deadly to birds too. Takes a month or two before they can be on the house after purchasing a new oven.

Parrots can be poisoned through ingestion (eating) or inhalation (breathing them in). One of the most common poisons for pet birds are insecticides or pesticides. Other poisons include ammonia, bleach, many glues, nail polish remover, oven cleaner, paint, perfumed candles, and heavy metals (e.g. lead and zinc). Poisonous plants are also dangerous, especially holiday plants. It is very important to know that zinc and lead poisoning in parrots can actually be found in cheaply made parrot toys so it is imperative that you know where your toys are coming from. Any type of chains, quick links, bells can contain zinc. Stainless steel or nickle plated hardware is the only type of metal I would recommend using.

That is definitely a personal preference that will vary with everyone. I do think that it really depends on if you have other animals in your household, your bird cage location etc. Lots of factors to consider 🙂

Wow. Such great information. I recently moved into a place with brand new appliances. I did not know using the oven when brand new could be dangerous and it is too late for that. However, I was going to self clean it and luckily the actual instructions talked about the process being deadly for birds. So I didnt do it. Do you think when the spring comes around, if the door to the outside is off the kitchen, would it be okay to put the bird outside and do the self cleaning? If I brought them back in later in the day, do you think that would be safe. Or should I move the bird to another level? Again, great information. Thank you.
