    There’s a reason nobody who keeps birds will keep that shit in their house

    For those of us that have no clue what this quote it about, what is the reason that nobody with a bird will have teflon in their house at the same time?

      Sorry, I forget not everyone else is a bird person. Teflon is notorious for making pet birds drop dead without warning during normal use. It’s very ‘canary in the coal mine.’
