Does anyone use these and have a bird in the home? The nonstick coating heating up and putting off toxic vapors that can kill birds really worries me. I think the coating has to be heated up to a fairly high temp (not normal use) for this to happen, but I'd really hate to kill my bird. Hoping someone has experience. Thank you

We have a maximilian pionus and a cockatiel that live in the combined dining room / kitchen area, and we use T-Fal cookware. We do take several precautions, though;
We never let cookware sit on the stove while turned on without something in it (oil, some kind of food, etc.). Having something in the pan helps keep it from overheating.
We never cook at higher than medium heat (that's a good practice anyway since it lengthens the useful lifespan of the cookware).
In the rare case that we accidentally burn some food or the T-Fal pan gets too hot, we hastily relocate the birds to the back bedroom, shut the door, crack the window, and turn on a fan.
If you're the scatterbrained type like my sister and are multitasking 30 things at once, it may be too much of a risk. If you generally stand over top of whatever you're cooking and are always keeping the birds in the back of your mind, I don't think it will be an issue.
We've had the same birds for over a decade, and honestly, we weren't that careful with cookware in the early days (we didn't know the risks). Nevertheless, the birds are doing just fine.
