        Birds have incredibly efficient lungs, which makes them incredibly sensitive lungs at the same time.

        Another danger of a similar kind is teflon or similarly coated things heating up. For humans it might be about as bad as flu-like symptoms, with our glorified air balloons of a set of lungs, but in birds it shreds the lungs from the inside

      Yeah this always bothered me. If it can kill birds is it really OK for you? A coal miner wouldn’t approve of this. I can certainly smell it. I only do this every three years or so and always in the fall when I can leave the windows open for quite a few hours.
