Re: dehydrator in the room with birds
I would be interested to know. If it is BPA free and teflon free I would think it would be ok, essentially a dehydrator is just a heat and air circulation system. Where you may run into health risks is if you use preservatives for your food. Most people who use dehydrators dip the food in some sort of preservative prior to dehydrating. If you do, research the fumes from that particular preservative. If you are only planning to store the food for 6 months or less, you can skip that part all together and I would think it would be perfectly safe then. However, if it makes you nervous, perhaps a different room such as the laundry room or garage might be a good alternative.
