birds have highly sensitive respiratory systems. a grave and common danger household birds face is the chemical release of hot teflon coated pans. the non-stick surface releases gases that can easily kill a bird. if you're grandmother ever uses non-stick cookware i recommend moving the bird immediately.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
