You and containing Teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene are toxic to birds when used at home in the same room. If you will be using cookware with Teflon, then it would be best to separate Ringo to another room with a shut door so as to avoid the smoke. Even then, Ringo would be at risk of having toxicity from the Teflon. Look at the link below for more information. Hope this helps and best of luck. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/teflon-polytetrafluoroethylene-poisoning-in-birds
