Unfortunately, my beloved cockatoo, Spooky, died last week, as discussed on the Cockatoo forum. While I periodically used Teflon at low temperatures, and while his well-known Avian Specialist did not believe it contributed to his passing (suspected heart disease), I have made it a mission to make sure the environment is safe for a rescue bird I hope to adopt very soon.
Thus, I'm ditching my Teflon-coated, infrequently used (but very nice) Breville toaster over and buying one without non-stick coating. As you may know, there aren't many toaster ovens available without Teflon/PTFE. When you do find them, they are usually very expensive.
So, I found one that appears to be Teflon/PTFE free and bird safe that won't break the bank. It's made by Mueller of Austria and is available on Amazon.
Here's the e-mail I received from Mueller as well as a link to the product:

Do your toaster ovens use Teflon/PTFE? This is toxic to birds, so trying to avoid that.
Thank you for contacting us.
The oven is made from stainless steel, no Teflon/PTFE. Please, let me know if you have additional questions.
