True. VERY deadly. It releases toxic fumes which may not be damaging to us, but it can kill birds. If it can kill birds, I'm sure its not *too good* for us either. We hardly EVER self clean our over because of the birds, but when we do, we have a big enough house to move them far, far away, upstairs in another room with the door closed and windows open. We actually open every single window in the house when we self clean the oven, and I *still* feel like something's not right when I breathe in the kitchen while the self cleaning mode is on. I can't imagine having the windows closed while doing that, especially in the kitchen area.
