Exactly what I meant by bird owners not knowing. He he. I didn't know when we got the birds either. I found out after we brought them home and got books on birds..........and I started reading about them on the net more. I was shocked..........and told my mom, *You have to throw these pans out of the house!* She didn't...........but I made her stop using them.

She loves the birdies much more than the pans, and now that she knows, she doesn't use them any more. *When* she does, which is rare, we take precautions and the birds go far far away from the kitchen, upstairs, locked in my room with the windows open.
