Because I have three parrots, I have to be extra-special careful with Teflon. Heat the stuff too high, and it will kill birds quick-fast-in-a-hurry. Teflon, avocados and neglect are the three most likely causes of companion parrot deaths.

Nah - it's the lecithin...as the NY Times article referenced above explains.

Yes, thank you, that was the culprit. It's supremely ironic because it's the lecithin in the spray that makes it a non-stick spray.
