Again I cannot thank you enough for all your time and attention9n to my concerns! I guess I can give back the stainless pan I borrowed from a neighbor I will replace my cookware when I can, but meanwhile it is good to know that as long as I am very careful I can go back to cooking our food and Snoopy's together!

Actually I do have a whole set of cast iron skillets inherited from our mothers. Kind of hard to cook up a pot of beans in a skillet, though.

Now I am worried about the baby's toys. Have just read (from someone who wants to sell me toys) horror stories about birds dying of heavy metal poisoning (from lead based paint or pressure treated wood) or formaldehyde (from tanned leather). Unfortunately there are not a lot of bird toys available here, and what there are most probably come from China. At this point I have taken away everything except her mirror. Any thoughts?

So does this mean that apple juice is bad for them?

Apple juice is fine, as long as its natural, no added sugar or chemical additives, its the seeds of the apple that are the toxic part, skins too should be discarded as their hard for birds to digest
