I've heard that Teflon gives off fumes toxic for birds when it overheats. Probably not so good for us either. After all, they once used canaries to alert miners of toxic fumes. They're more sensitive to gasses so if the bird fell off the perch the miners would evacuate.

I heard of the mine canaries. I didn't know about Teflon!
